CHESHIRE - A Point Pleasant, W.Va., woman was listed in critical condition after the vehicle she drove collided head-on with a delivery truck on Ohio 7 near the Gen. James M. Gavin Power Plant at 7:40 a.m. Friday.
According to the Gallia-Meigs Post of the State Highway Patrol, Amanda Shay Duncan, 18, was traveling northbound on 7 in a 1992 Chevrolet Sport Van.
