Accident Case May Go to Jury
The Circuit Court case of Jackie Lee McNealy versus the City of South Charleston Kanawha Land Co and Boyd Weaver is expected to go to the jury today. McNealy, 18, was injured in a mud slicked crash on Kanawha Turnpike near the Naval Ordnance Plant in South Charleston. He suffered a fractured pelvis and other injuries as the car wrecked after skidding on road mud. The Kanawha Land Co has been engaged in a real estate improvement project in the area. Weaver is an independent contractor hired by the company. McNealy’s lawyers say the work left the highway in hazardous condition and that the city failed to keep the road clean. Defense contend their work was done properly and heavy rains caused drainage onto the road. They also blame a city culvert not in proper condition, contributing to the hazard. South Charleston defense argues efforts are made to keep the highway clean within corporate limits.
