McColl, SC (November 28, 2022) – A person was killed and another hurt following a two-vehicle collision in McColl on Monday, November 28.
At around 2:10 a.m., the fatal crash took place on SC-381 near Jimmy McColl Road. It was reported that a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2001 Lincoln Navigator were traveling in opposite directions when they collided. The driver of the Navigator suffered fatal injuries in the crash.
The driver of the Chevy was transported to McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence for treatment of sustained injuries. The identities of the deceased have not been released.
No additional information has been provided at this time.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the deadly crash is in progress.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
A head-on collision can have terrible, disabling impacts on the individuals affected. The effects can be profound and last a lifetime, even if the experience only lasts a few seconds. You can find yourself completely unable to work while still having to deal with rising medical costs. These collisions, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, are a key contributing factor in fatal auto accidents. Head-on collisions accounted for nearly 56% of all fatal auto accidents nationwide in 2018.
If the deceased’s death affected you, you might be able to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf; however, you should be ready for a few potential obstacles that might appear during the claim process. The worst scenario is having to deal with a loved one’s passing while also demonstrating that their death was a direct result of another person’s negligence or misconduct.
South Carolina law permits eligible surviving relatives to file a civil lawsuit for wrongful death against the defendant in order to recover damages. Money cannot stop the passage of time, bring a loved one back into your life, or ease your emotional suffering. However, receiving compensation for wrongful death may enable you to cover your related expenses.
