A Lucasville woman is in critical condition at St. Mary's Hospital in Huntington, W.Va., following a motor vehicle crash Thursday around midnight on Ohio 139 at Hinkley Hollow Road near Rosemount Hill in Clay Township.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said rescue workers found Rose M. Rigsby, 45, no address, lying in the roadway when they arrived. The workers had to get through several downed power lines to reach the scene.

Besides the OSHP, the New Boston Fire Department, Rubyville Fire Department, Rosemount Squad 12, Portsmouth Police Department and the Scioto County Sheriff's Office responded.

Rigsby was taken to a waiting helicopter at the New Boston Wal-Mart shopping center and flown to St. Mary's.

Further investigation into the crash led to the arrest of her son, Christopher A. McDaniel, 24, of Lucasville, on warrants from Portsmouth Municipal Court.

Witnesses told police that McDaniel was in the vehicle and fled the scene on foot.

The OSHP did not list the type of vehicle Rigsby was in, what caused the crash or who was driving.

Troopers are investigating the crash.
