Kanawha County sheriff’s deputies said Cameron Carney, 19, of Hurricane, was traveling east on U.S. Route 60 not far from the Hughes Creek four-lane at about 7:45 a.m. when his vehicle went across the center line and collided with an oncoming vehicle.
Carney, a former Hurricane High baseball standout, died at the scene. A person in the other vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Carney graduated from Hurricane High School two years ago. He was a member of the state champion Hurricane baseball team and also played football for the Redskins.
The baseball team first announced Carney as the victim of the crash in a social media post.
