Laura Glassburn, 15, of St. Albans died after the Honda Civic driven by her older sister, Sharon, 19, was hit by an SUV, said Lt. Sean Crosier with the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department

The accident happened about 7:22 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of U.S. 60 and Kanawha Terrace near Wendy's, Crosier said.

A Jeep Cherokee traveling eastbound on U.S. 60 struck the front passenger's side of the Honda Civic attempting to turn left onto Kanawha Terrace, Crosier said. 

Laura was killed, he said, and Sharon was seriously injured. Laura was a student at Capital High School.

Luke Russell Mitchell, 24, of St. Albans the driver of the Jeep also was injured, but police said his injuries were not considered life threatening. 

At least two people were transported to Charleston Area Medical Center's General Hospital with injuries, sheriff's department officials said.

No charges have been filed and police have not yet determined who was at fault, Crosier said.

Metro 911 dispatchers first received calls from the scene about a three-car accident with heavy damage, but Crosier confirmed only two vehicles were involved.

Police did not release the names of victims because families still were being notified, he said. It is not clear if the 15-year-old passenger died at the scene or at the hospital, according to Crosier.

Traffic was backed up in the area for about two hours, police said. 

Emergency crews cleared the scene just after 11 p.m.

The sheriff's department is still investigating and is reconstructing the accident to determine exactly what happened, Crosier said
