A Nitro woman is dead after she was hit by a tractor trailer while trying to get a dog off of a highway.

The accident occurred shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday on State Route 25.

Nitro police identified the victim as 50-year-old Linda Sloan.

Mayor Rusty Casto says he received information indicating that the tractor-trailer hit the dog and Sloan ran onto the highway to get the animal. The rig then hit Sloan.

Police say the driver didn't see Sloan.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
