Last week a woman was killed in nearby Baldwin when her vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic. Police were called to the intersection of Streets Run Road and Whitehill Prospect Road on December 9 at around 8 p.m. When they arrived, they saw a scene of carnage.
Police say that Chryse Heuler, 59, was in her Cadillac sedan when she lost control and crossed the center line. A Jeep was heading for her but was able to take evasive action to avoid a worse collision. The impact injured a 42-year-old male and three children in the Jeep. Heuler was taken to the hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. It is believed that alcohol and weather contributed to Heuler losing control of her vehicle.
