Hit And Run Leaves Beckleyan Lying On Street
A 72 year old Beckley woman, Mrs. Neal of F Street, was struck by a 1956 car driven by David R. Allen as she crossed to meet friends. Allen and three passengers fled the scene after stopping briefly. Mrs. Neal was hospitalized with a broken leg and pelvic injuries and facial cuts and bruises. Police later found the borrowed car abandoned near Piney Oaks Grade School and issued a warrant for Allen after he reportedly returned to his military base. In related incidents, Arley Clendenin was pronounced dead at 218 Westwood Drive, a speeding citation was issued to Frank Sinozich, driving without glasses, David M. Davis faced license violations, and James Clifton was released on bond after non-support charges.
