DIANA, W.Va (WDTV) - A Webster County man who was high on fentanyl crashed a car on Route 15 in Diana earlier this year, injuring his passenger, according to the West Virginia State Police.

Thomas Ware, 50, crashed a blue Chevrolet Trailblazer into a tree over an embankment on Sunday, January 5th at approximately 5 p.m. while under the influence of drugs, police said.

Ware’s drug screen results from the hospital, which troopers obtained a warrant for, indicated that he was high on fentanyl and norfentanyl at the time of the crash, court documents say.

Both Ware and the passenger had to be cut from the vehicle, and the passenger sustained a broken leg, police said.
