BUCKHANNON – A Buckhannon man died in a one-vehicle wreck Saturday night.

Jeff Tenney, 35, passed away from injuries suffered in the wreck, which happened just before 7 p.m. Saturday, June 13.

Senior Trooper P.J. Robinette with the Buckhannon detachment of the West Virginia State Police said a call came in at 6:53 p.m. that Tenney had been involved in a fatal rollover wreck while driving a silver Jeep Cherokee on the Glady Fork Road.

“It appears he drove off the right side of the roadway, overcorrected and went back across the road, into a ditch, glanced off a tree, went back in the road, went back off the side of the road and flipped,” Robinette said.
