A Lexington woman, who suffered a heart
attack while driving on State Highway 22
near Clarksburg Monday, October 15, was
pronounced dead after her vehicle veered off
the highway, according to Carroll County
Coroner Steve Cantrell. Naomi Jarrett, 82,
had reportedly been to a doctor’s
appointment in Huntingdon earlier in the day
and had stopped in Clarksburg to purchase
groceries before returning home.
“The manner of death will be ruled a
heart attack and the cause of death will be
natural,” said Cantrell. “The accident was
not a factor in her death.” According to
investigating Trooper Chris Rollins, Mrs.
Jarrett was headed south on State Highway 22
in a 1991 Ford Escort near the intersection
of Roan Creek Levee Road, when she left the
east side of the highway and ran into the
median. The vehicle crossed two lanes of the
highway, exited the highway and came to rest
in a deep ditch. She was wearing a seat
belt. Funeral services are at 1 p.m.
Thursday at First Baptist Church in
Huntingdon with burial to follow at Pleasant
Hill Cemetery in Leach. |
