Girl, 10, dies in crash

PINCH, W.Va. (WSAZ) – A 10-year-old was killed on Monday afternoon in a crash in Pinch, West Virginia, according to Kanawha County deputies.

The deadly crash happened near N Pinch Road and Church Road, 911 dispatchers report.

Deputies report the vehicle was traveling along Church Road when it hit a guardrail. Deputies say the guardrail bent, causing the vehicle to land on an embankment along N Pinch Road.

A 13-year-old was also injured in the crash and taken to the hospital.

An adult was also involved in the crash but sustained minor injuries, according to deputies.

Deputies believe speed and faulty equipment may have played a role in the crash, along with the guardrail not supporting the vehicle upon impact. The West Virginia Department of Highways responded to the scene to analyze the guardrail and roadway conditions, and deputies will spend the coming days working to determine all the factors contributing to the crash.

N Pinch Road has been closed by first responders and will remain closed as deputies investigate the crash.
