  Crash sends woman, 4-year-old to MCG web posted May 16, 2007  EDGEFIELD – A two
car collision just after
noon in Edgefield Tuesday sent a woman and a four year old boy to MCG
Hospital in Augusta. The crash occurred when the driver of a Saab 93
was traveling southbound on Highway 25 and a woman driving a Ford
Escort pulled out from the Dollar General store and tried to cross the
highway and the cars collided. All three people in the Ford, the woman
driver, another man, and a four year old boy, all struck the windshield
upon impact. No child seat was found inside the car.The woman driver was suffering from a possible broken left arm and the child was complaining of his head hurting. It was never determined if the child was in the back seat or sitting in the lap of one of the adults. The young boy was immobilized by EMS personnel and he and the woman were transported to MCG for treatment of their injuries. The driver of the Saab was complaining of ankle and knee pain but refused to be transported. The other passenger in the Ford was uninjured.  The South Carolina
Highway Patrol arrived and investigated the crash
finding the driver of the Ford at fault for failure to yield the right
of way. She was also cited for a child restraint violation for not
having the four year old in a car safety seat.Both vehicles sustained heavy damage and had to be towed from the scene. For
