Tomblin stated in a press release, that Cash was traveling too fast to negotiate the curve and crossed over into the west bound lane, striking Dickman, who was driving a 2007 Suzuki Gran Vitara, head-on.

Following the impact, Cash's vehicle left the roadway, went into a field, flipped over two and a half times before stopping on its passenger side about 150 feet from the roadway. Dickman tried to avoid the collision but was unable to, stated Tomblin.

Excessive speed was a factor in the collision and charges are pending the outcome of the investigation, stated Tomblin.

Cash was alone in his vehicle.
