Funeral Held for Wrong-Way Driver

Funeral services were held this week for Beatrice Patrick, who turned the wrong direction to travel on the West Virginia Turnpike last Saturday. That wrong-way travel ultimately led to a crash and the death of five people. Three were killed in that wrong-way accident, including Patrick, and two Pratt Volunteer Firefighters were killed on the way to the scene. Patrick’s home was in Salyersville, Kentucky, and it’s not clear why she was so far from home. West Virginia State Police say she made it at least 2 miles before crashing, and they are still investigating.
