One man remains in serious condition Thursday after an accident on Interstate 77.

The crash happened Wednesday around 5 PM at mile marker 150. That's near the Ravenswood exit in Jackson county.

West Virginia state police say 4 members of the Longworth family were a van when it appears the 68-year-old man driving fell asleep at the wheel. The vehicle rolled several times through the median.

The 68-year-old man was taken to Camden Clark Memorial Hospital and is in good condition today. A 12-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl were also taken to CCMH. Their condition is unknown at this time.
