Andrew Jackson Wyrick, 25, of Culloden, is scheduled for trial before Kanawha County Circuit Judge Maryclaire Akers but it appears Wyrick will be entering a plea agreement with prosecutors.

The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department has announced a news conference to discuss the plea for 1:30 p.m. Monday.

Wyrick faces two counts of DUI causing death and two counts of DUI causing serious bodily injury. Wyrick plead not guilty to the charges in April of 2023.

Wyrick was charged after crashing his pick-up truck on U.S. Route 60 west of St. Albans. The collision claimed the lives of Dotty Lou Haynes, 73, and her daughter Sherri McClanahan, 53, both of Hurricane.

Wyrick is scheduled to be in court Monday at 9 a.m.
