A teenage driver was killed in a single-vehicle crash Tuesday evening in Spartanburg, report news sources.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the 16-year-old Spartanburg girl was driving a 1995 Ford four-door vehicle eastbound on Oak Forest Road when she lost control of the vehicle around 7 p.m. The vehicle veered off the right side of the road, struck a mailbox and a drainage ditch and overturned.
The driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle. According to the Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office, the teenager was declared dead at the scene. A 13-year-old boy who was a front-seat passenger in the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. He was taken to a local medical center for treatment of unspecified injuries.
As a Spartanburg car accident attorney, I have witnessed first-hand the shock and grief of those left behind after an unexpected death. My heartfelt condolences go out to the girl’s family, friends and loved ones. I hope that they are getting all of the help and support they need during this challenging time. Being a Spartanburg personal injury lawyer, I am well aware of the types of injuries that can be suffered in a traffic-related incident. I wish the boy a rapid recovery from his injuries.
