Granville Police: Sleepy driver crashes into Mon County Ballpark main gate

GRANVILLE, W.Va. The Granville Police Department investigated a report of a car crashing into the main gate at the Kenfrick Family Ballpark at the Monongalia County Baseball Complex.

Granville Police Department Lieutenant Brian Hill said units responded to the incident around 1:45 a.m. Wednesday and found the car off the road and into the gate.

“The vehicle had crashed into the gate right across from the Courtyard by Marriott, and it basically destroyed the gate and messed the car up pretty good too,” Hill said.

Lt. Hill said the unidentified driver apparently fell asleep, causing the crash. Hill said the driver did not show any signs of impairment.

“He reported that he fell asleep at the wheel and gave no indications other than that,” Hill said.

Lt. Hill said no injuries were reported and no citations were issued.
