Charleston Huntington, WV, October 19, 2026 —
Two sisters from North Carolina died in a fatal crash at the I-64/I-77 split in Charleston, West Virginia, according to a trend summary of WSAZ’s investigation. Their family is speaking out about what it describes as recurring dangers at the site.
The split has been the location of multiple recent crashes and fatalities, the summary says. It does not provide the number of incidents, their dates or details about the circumstances of the sisters’ crash. The sisters’ names and ages were not provided.
State officials are planning to install additional safety measures at the site. The summary does not identify which measures are planned, when installation is expected to begin or be completed, or which state officials are responsible for the plans.
The family’s concerns and the planned measures are the central points in the available account of the investigation. Further details about the crashes, the site’s safety history and officials’ plans were not included in the summary. It also does not specify whether any safety changes have already been made or whether officials have released additional findings.
The information provided establishes that the site has seen multiple recent crashes and fatalities, but does not offer figures or a timeline that would show how those incidents compare over time. It likewise does not describe the measures under consideration. The account therefore leaves unanswered what changes are planned and when they may be put in place.
