Back on March 30, two people were walking along a sidewalk in the South Carolina town of Aiken. For some unknown reason, a Jeep ended up on the sidewalk and ran down the two pedestrians. As a result of the car accident, one person was killed and another was put in the hospital with critical injuries.

An accident reconstruction team first ruled out any impairment on the part of the driver of the Jeep. Several officers at the scene of the accident that day did not see any indications that the driver was impaired, and toxicology results have supported those suppositions. Further investigation has resulted in police coming to the conclusion that speed was also not a factor in this crash. It has also been discovered that the driver of the Jeep was not using his cell phone when the accident happened.

A South Carolina woman that lost her husband and son to a hit-and-run driver just wants to know whether hitting her family was an accident and whether the person that did it is sorry for what happened. Her husband and son were left to die by the person driving the vehicle that caused this tragic motorcycle accident. The woman pleaded with the public for the driver to come forward and take responsibility for his or her actions.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol was looking for a silver Chevy Malibu and its driver. Troopers received a tip that led them to both the car and its driver within days of the accident. That person has been charged with fleeing the scene of the accident, but troopers anticipate more charges may be forthcoming.

Losing a loved one in an accident can be one of the most devastating things ever to happen to a family. There is no real way to prepare for it or possibly ever recover from it. Filing a civil suit in a South Carolina court against the party or parties deemed responsible may not just be about financial compensation, it may also be about closure and justice.

For instance, a South Carolina man was recently killed in a one vehicle crash. He had entrusted his life to the driver, and ended up being killed in a car accident. From what has thus far been pieced together by authorities, the driver was going way to fast and ended up off of the road. The vehicle hit several mail boxes before slamming into a tree.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating a tragic accident that happened recently on U.S. 521. The truck vs. car accident ended up claiming the life of a Georgetown woman and sent a trucker to the hospital. Officials were forced to close that stretch of highway near Andrews most of the night.

According to preliminary reports from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, a car and logging truck were both heading west on U.S. 521 when a tanker truck heading in the opposite direction crossed the center line for an as yet unknown reason. As a result, the tanker sideswiped both logging truck and the car. The logging truck was thankfully empty at the time, but the tanker was carrying some sort of "explosive material" and police deemed the road to dangerous for traffic.
