BUCKHANNON -- One man is dead after an accident on Tallmansville Road in Upshur County, Wednesday afternoon.
The accident happened around 2:15 p.m., says Upshur County Sheriff Virgil Miller.
William Merryman, 19 of Buckhannon, was driving downhill on the road when he lost control of his Jeep Wrangler, says Miller.
Merryman hit a culvert and the jeep flipped over.
His passenger, Brock Miller, 19 of Volga, died at the scene.
Merryman was flown to Ruby Memorial Hospital, in Morgantown, with non-life threatening injuries.
He has since been released from the hospital, officials say.
