New Ellenton Police Chief killed in crash


web posted January 29, 2009
NEW ELLENTON – New Ellenton Police Chief Johnnie Hamilton, 55, was pronounced dead at the scene of a two vehicle collision in the city of Perry, South Carolina Wednesday afternoon. According to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton, Chief Hamilton failed to yield the right of way at the intersection of Walker and Poole Roads and was struck by truck that resulted in the fatality and two others being injured.

Chief Hamilton was said to be traveling north on Poole Road and entered the Walker Road intersection around 3:15 pm when his 2008 Crown Victoria police cruiser was struck by a 1994 dodge truck driven by Donnie Black of Springfield SC. Chief Hamilton was killed and a passenger, Maria Kenedy was injured. She and Mr. Black were transported to Palmetto Richland Memorial hospital in Columbia with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

Chief Hamilton was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.

Toxicology results are pending. The South Carolina Highway Patrol, along with the Perry Police Department Chief Ward and the Aiken County Coroner's Office are investigating this crash. This is the first fatal crash of 2009 for Aiken County.
