CRIME: Vehicle a total loss after Saturday arson incident, fire captain says
Dooley was driving a 2003 Chevrolet sedan when a southbound 1996 Ford truck, driven by Cole VanHoose, 25, crossed the center line and struck her head-on. This caused both vehicles to leave the road and come to a rest in the field across from the 3700 block of Urbana-Moorefield Road.
Both Dooley and her passenger, Smith, were pronounced dead at the scene.
