Local man killed in early morning crash

web posted October 6, 2007
EDGEFIELD – A two-car collision on Highway 25 near Edgefield has left an Edgefield County man dead, two people injured, and one man arrested. The violent crash took place around 12:25 am Saturday morning and blocked all traffic on Highway 25 as the South Carolina Highway Patrol investigated the incident.

According to information released by authorities at the scene a Chevrolet Camaro was traveling north on Highway 25 and could not stop for a northbound Cadillac that had slowed in front of the Huddle House. The driver of the Camaro tried to avoid a collision and swerved to the right and struck the front right corner of the Cadillac. After the collision the driver of the Camaro lost control and slammed into a power pole killing the passenger instantly. 

The driver of the Cadillac and his female passenger were said to have suffered injuries and were transported by ambulance to the Edgefield County Hospital for treatment. Their condition was not available.

The driver of the Camaro was arrested at the scene but remained unidentified pending formal charges jail officials said when contacted at 2:40 am.

Speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in the crash. The scene was still being investigated at 3 am. The name of the man killed was not released pending notification of family members. A special late update will be placed Saturday afternoon with further information.

The fatality is the sixth on Edgefield County roads this year.
