Pelzer, SC (November 30, 2022) – A Missouri resident was killed following a head-on collision in the Pelzer area that was initially reported on Monday, November 7.
The deadly accident took place at the intersection of US-29 and SC-3 at around 6:25 p.m. The 55-year-old driver of a northbound Toyota pickup truck reportedly crossed the centerline into oncoming traffic. The Toyota crashed head-on with a Jeep.
The driver of the Jeep and four passengers were hospitalized, as was the driver of the pickup truck. An occupant of the Jeep was later pronounced dead at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center on Thursday, November 24.
The deceased party was later identified as 41-year-old Toney Shrell Perkins of Hattiesburg, Missouri.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the fatal accident is in progress.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Toney Shrell Perkins at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
People involved in a head-on collision may suffer catastrophic, permanent injuries. Even if the experience only lasts a few seconds, the ramifications can be deep and last a lifetime. You may become totally unable to work while still having to contend with escalating medical expenses. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, these collisions are a major cause of fatal car accidents. Nearly 56% of all fatal auto accidents nationally in 2018 involved head-on collisions.
Wrongful death lawsuits are challenging for the grieving families involved, and the callous insurance companies that refuse to pay out settlements can make them even more challenging. When a loved one dies, there are frequently many unplanned expenses. After suffering a terrible loss, some people may be able to begin the healing process by making financial improvements thanks to the money from the damages they were awarded. With the help of an accomplished South Carolina wrongful death lawyer, you can move on with your life after losing a loved one.
You might be able to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased if their passing affected you. However, you should be prepared for a few potential challenges that could arise during the claim procedure. The worst case scenario is having to deal with the loss of a loved one while also proving that their death was a direct result of someone else’s carelessness or misconduct.
