At 8:35 a.m., a 2011 Ford F-250 was traveling east on John Marshall Hwy when it crossed a double solid yellow centerline, sideswiped a westbound 2010 Subaru Outback, and collided head-on with a westbound 2022 Toyota Camry, near Back Road.

The driver of the Ford, Roy J. Mongold Jr., 44, of Fisher, WV, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Winchester Medical Center for treatment.
