Woman demands justice for sister who was hit and killed while on horseback
GLEN WHITE, WV (WVNS)– In July of 2024, two lives were cut tragically short after a vehicle struck a woman and her horse in a head-on collision. The man who hit them was driving on a suspended license, but was never charged. Now, Jessica Massey is coming forward to demand accountability and justice for her sister Robin's death. 'My sister was a wonderful person…and she died in the most horrific way that I could ever imagine.' Jessica Massey, Robin's sister On July 7th, 2024, Robin Massey and her friends were returning home after a late night horseback ride, after a gear problem delayed them until almost 10 p.m. They were crossing the street on Lester Highway and Church Street, and according to Nathan Cook, Massey's friend, they made sure to take all the proper safety precautions. Despite their precautions, however, a truck coming from the opposite direction failed to stop and hit Robin and her horse, Chaos, in a direct collision, killing her instantly. They were almost home. 'She was trying to stop him,' said Cook. 'We saw headlights and she waved her arms for like a second if that, and he had to have been flying, he wasn't paying attention at all. There's no way he didn't see her. We all had lights and she had that flashing speaker on the back of her saddle.' According to the police crash report, the driver, named Jesse Acord, was not only driving too fast for the conditions that night, but was driving on a suspended license. A license that he also didn't have on him at the time of the incident, which can be seen in the body cam footage 59News obtained by a FOIA request. First Lady of West Virginia taken to hospital Despite Robin passing away at the scene, the police report said that Acord was not drug tested or given a sobriety test that night, even though he has multiple driving charges on his record, including past DUIs, according to West Virginia Magistrate records. Acord left the scene that night without a single charge, even though the police report documented that he was driving illegally. 'She went to the morgue…and he went home.' Jessica Massey, Robin's Sister After reaching out to the Raleigh County Prosecuting Attorney's office for comment, we received the following statement from Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Ashley Acord, in return: 'At this time there is insufficient evidence in the investigation of the accident resulting in the death of Robin Massey to support prosecution of more than Driving on an Administratively Suspended License, which is a misdemeanor…Our office is currently awaiting follow-up investigation by Law Enforcement to determine whether distracted driving was a factor in this matter.' Ultimately, Massey has been fighting for months to make things right in her sisters' name. She has been on a journey toward justice in the hopes that no one else will face the same tragedy. 'To know that the outrage is not just within me, that it's within other people that love her, gives me the strength I need to keep fighting,' said Massey. Robin Massey was loved deeply by so many friends and family, who all want to make sure she is never forgotten. 'She was an amazing person,' said Cook. 'She seemed like more of a mom to me than my real mom was, and my best friend.' Cook's wife, Marissa, added that 'she was all-around an amazing person. I've never met anybody that had anything bad to say about her. She always welcomed everybody, she was just an all-around good person.' Massey said that she is planning a protest soon to raise more awareness for Robin's story and advocate for change. The date and time will be announced on the 'Justice for Robin' Facebook page, where you can also find all the latest updates. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
