A Tennessee man has been arrested in connection with a fatal crash Monday night on Interstate 81 in Frederick County that claimed the life of a Martinsburg, West Virginia, man, according to state police.

Kenneth J. Bireta, 54, of Knoxville, was traveling north on I-81 at 10:56 p.m. in a Toyota Highlander when state police say he ran off the roadway into the median and overturned several times before colliding with a southbound 2019 Nissan Rogue at mile marker 316.

The driver of the Nissan, William F. Allison Jr., 60, of Martinsburg, died at the scene from his injuries, state police spokesman Sgt. Brent Coffey stated in a media release. He was not wearing a seat belt, according to the release.

Bireta suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Winchester Medical Center for treatment.

While at the hospital, law enforcement officials observed that Bireta was “confused and had slow and slurred speech,” according to court documents. They also noted that he had “an odor of alcohol on his breath” and could not remember his home address for several minutes.

Court documents also indicate that Bireta told authorities that he was planning to spend the night at a hotel in Winchester. He also told them he had been traveling southbound on I-81 when he lost control of the car, when he had actually been observed heading northbound prior to the crash.

Multiple white capsules with “slight signs of methamphetamines” were found at the scene of the crash, according to court documents.

After being released from the hospital, Bireta was arrested and charged with one count of driving under the influence and one count of possession of a Schedule I or II drug.

The release said additional charges are pending and that the crash remains under investigation.

Bireta is currently being held without bond at the Northwest Regional Adult Detention Center near Winchester. He is scheduled to appear July 30 in Frederick County General District Court.
