A Masontown woman was killed and a person believed to be her relative was injured in a single-vehicle accident yesterday in German Township, Fayette County.

Fayette County Deputy Coroner Marisa Springer identified the victim as 20-year-old Jennifer Gibson. She died of a broken neck and was pronounced dead at the scene, Ms. Springer said.

A passenger in the vehicle, identified as Roy Gibson III, 19, also of Masontown, was injured and was flown to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va. The hospital would release no information on his condition. Ms. Springer said she believes he is Ms. Gibson's brother.
