South Carolina crash claims life of 15-year-old driver, rescuers say

COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. — A teenager died in a crash in South Carolina Tuesday night, according to Colleton County Fire-Rescue.

Fire-Rescue crews said they responded just after 6 a.m. to White Hall Road in Colleton County.

According to officials, a 15-year-old boy was driving a Honda when it veered off the shoulder and he overcorrected.

The car slid sideways into the northbound lane, where a northbound Dodge truck hit its passenger side, rescuers said.

Both vehicles went off the northbound shoulder and crashed into a large pine tree.

The Honda’s teen driver was trapped in the wreckage and died at the scene.

The two men in the pickup truck sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
