A four-vehicle crash on the Dunbar Toll Bridge claimed the lives of Roy Day of Hurricane and Alison Ross of Nitro on Monday afternoon. The collision was reported at about 3:10 p.m., according to the South Charleston Police Department.
Day, 68, and Ross, 58, were identified as the two people who died in the crash. What began as a normal trip across the bridge ended with two families receiving devastating news.

Day lived in Hurricane, while Ross lived in Nitro. Their names now stand at the center of a crash that brought a sudden end to two lives and left relatives and friends dealing with an unexpected loss.
The Dunbar Toll Bridge became the scene of the deadly collision after four vehicles were involved. Police confirmed the deaths of Day and Ross, but the available details do not explain what led to the vehicles crashing into one another.
Behind the names in the police report were two people with years of life and personal history. Day had reached 68, while Ross was 58. Each had family, friends and people who knew them through years of shared experiences.
For those close to them, the loss is not measured by the few details in a crash report. It is felt in the empty places they leave behind, in familiar routines that suddenly change and in memories of conversations and moments that cannot be repeated.
The crash also serves as a painful reminder of how quickly an ordinary afternoon can change. Families who expected to see Day and Ross again were instead left facing the reality of their deaths.
Roy Day and Alison Ross will be remembered by the people who knew them. Their families now face the difficult task of moving forward while carrying the memories of two lives that ended suddenly on the Dunbar Toll Bridge.
