MARTINSBURG, W.VA.
A 50-year-old Berkeley County, W.Va., woman died Monday afternoon when the car she was driving collided head-on with a garbage truck, a Berkeley County Sheriff's Department spokesman said.
Susan M. Puffinberger, of Dew Drop Lane, Hedgesville, W.Va., was pronounced dead at the scene after the garbage truck went up over the car about six feet, Deputy S.D. Myers said.
Puffinberger was driving a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire on Winchester Avenue south of Martinsburg when the car went left of center near Novak Drive and collided head-on with a Waste Management garbage truck, police said.
