South Charleston, W.Va. (WOWK) – One person has died after a crash that temporarily shut down a portion of Corridor G in South Charleston.

According to Kanawha County Metro 911 dispatchers, the call came in around 9:42 a.m. Wednesday for a crash on Corridor G, also known as US 119, near Childress Road.
