A teenage man is dead after a single-vehicle crash Saturday morning in Lancaster County near Jefferson caused by the driver swerving to avoid striking a deer in the roadway, say news reports.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 10:05 a.m. when the driver of a 1998 Honda vehicle that was traveling on North Taxahaw Road swerved to avoid striking a deer in the roadway. The vehicle went off the right side of the road and smashed into a utility pole about five miles north of Jefferson.
The driver of the Honda, a 19-year-old Kershaw man, was killed in the wreck.
Traffic near the crash site was block for two hours as authorities investigated the fatal crash.
As a Greenville auto accident lawyer, I have witnessed first-hand the grief and pain of those left behind after an sudden death. My heartfelt condolences go out to the man’s family, friends and loved ones. Being a Greenville personal injury attorney, I know how important it is for grieving people to have a strong support network. I hope the man’s loved ones are getting the care and support they need during this difficult time.
