Wild wummin of West Virginia - two crashes on Turnpike then flees police on foot

"Wild Wonderful West Virginia" is one of the tourist marketing themes of the state. The wild part is all true based on the hottest news out of the mountain state.

Late last night a woman in a red pickup truck banged it up on a concrete barrier at the Beckly toll plaza, and then zoomed off into the night. Not long afterwards she managed to ram a utility pole at the Turnpike's Tamarack Center disabling the vehicle.

Seeing cops approach she took off on foot into the wilds. The woman was eventually apprehended.

In most of America only males of the species are wild like this.

The tourism people need to amend the slogan to:

"Come see the Wild Wonderful Wimmin of West Virginia."
