Freshman dies in weekend car crash

Funeral plans have been set for a Marshall psychology major who was killed Sunday night in a four-vehicle crash on Interstate 64 near the St. Albans exit.

Jeremy Matthew Edwards, 19, Culloden freshman, was killed along with his girlfriend, Jennifer Dawn Wood, 19, and her mother, Deborah Sue Mays, 49. Two others riding in the sport utility vehicle were injured, but are expected to recover. Investigators are still unsure of how the wreck happened.

Marshall counseling program professor Don Hall said his son Evan was a close friend of Edwards.

"(Edwards) was a fine young man," he said. "Every time I was around him, he was very polite and courteous."

Edwards' visitation is 5-9 p.m. today and his funeral is 2 p.m. Wednesday at Heck Funeral Home in Milton.

With Sunday's heavy fog and icy roads, West Virginia State Police spokesman Scott Mayo said, ''It's a safe assumption to say that weather was a part of (the crash.)"
