WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) – Authorities in West Virginia say a woman has died after being hit by a truck then dragged under another vehicle for miles.  Wheeling Police Department spokesman Philip Stahl says officers received a report on the initial crash around 6:30 a.m. Thursday in the 100 block of Warwood Avenue.  He says the first driver told police he thought he hit someone, but officers couldn’t find a body. The department then received another call around 15 minutes later about a vehicle dragging a body on Interstate 70 east at the Washington Avenue exit 2B, nearly 5 miles away.  The woman has been identified as 54-year-old Michelle Lynn Czoka of Bridgeport, Ohio.  Police are still investigating.
