Authorities are looking into a vehicle crash, in which a 16-year-old West Union girl died, and that was discovered Monday morning, report news sources.
According to the Oconee County Coroner’s Office, the crash occurred north of Seneca on Sunday night at approximately 11:45 p.m. when a vehicle driven by the teenager was traveling northbound on Davis Mill Road. The vehicle crossed Wells Highway and struck a guardrail. The crash site was not discovered until 6:15 a.m. Monday morning by a passing motorist. It is believed that the teen was driving home from visiting friends in Seneca at the time of the accident.
An investigation into the crash is underway, and an autopsy found that the high school student died form traumatic asphyxiation. Results from a preliminary investigation indicate that the manner of the girl’s death was accidental.
Even with my experience as a Beaufort car accident lawyer, I cannot begin to imagine the shock and grief of the girl’s family and community. My heartfelt condolences go out to the her family, friends and loved ones. Being a Beaufort personal injury attorney, I know how important it is for grieving people to have a strong support network. I hope the girl’s loved ones are getting the care and support they need during this difficult time.
