Kanawha County Sheriff’s Deputies say a man killed while driving the
wrong way and crashing into another car on I-64 was a missing
Alzheimer's patient from Kentucky.
It happened at about 1:38am Sunday morning in the eastbound lanes of
Interstate 64 between the Dunbar and Institute exits.
Deputies tell WSAZ that Paul Carr, 85 of Flatwoods, Kentucky, got on
to the eastbound lanes of I-64 at the Oakwood Exit in Charleston and
headed west. Police started chasing his car in South Charleston.
Investigators say Carr drove more than five miles before he hit
another car head-on and died at the scene. The other driver, Marcus
Warner, 25 of St. Albans, was trapped in his car and was critically
injured, according to deputies. There was only one person in each car.
Deputies tell us Carr was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and was reported
missing.
Warner is currently listed in critical condition at CAMC General.
I-64 east was closed for several hours, but it's now back open.
