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.

Troopers said she attempted to pass another vehicle also traveling northbound and was struck head-on by a southbound 1995 Ford C7700 delivery truck driven by Scot A. Bichard, 38, of Cambridge.

Trapped in her vehicle, Duncan was extracted by mechanical means and transported to Holzer Emergency Room by Gallia County EMS, the patrol reported.

The van she drove suffered severe damage to the center front.

Bichard reported non-incapacitating injuries and the delivery truck suffered disabling damage to the left side.

Responding to the scene in addition to the patrol were Meigs County rescue personnel, Middleport Volunteer Fire Department and Gallia County EMS.

At approximately 8:30 a.m., Duncan was airlifted by HealthNet of Huntington, W.Va., from Holzer Medical Center to Cabell Huntington Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition by hospital officials Friday afternoon.

A nursing supervisor said Saturday that Duncan's family has asked the hospital to release no further information.
