  Another teen involved in violent crash web posted November 18, 2006  EDGEFIELD – An
Edgefield teen escaped serious injury in a crash on
Jeter Street in Edgefield Friday afternoon adding to the number of
crashes and collisions involving county teens. Just after 1 pm an
Edgefield 18 year-old male traveling west on Jeter Street just outside
the town limits drove off the right-hand side of the road taking out
several mailboxes, clipping a telephone pole just above the ground, and
uprooted at least two medium sized trees before stopping in a driveway
on the 1100 block. The young man said he had not slept last night and
fell asleep at the wheel. The one-ton diesel
Chevy work truck left the roadway in a curve and
struck at least three mailboxes before continuing down an embankment.

then struck several trees, uprooting two. Sheriff’s Deputies and EMS
responded to the scene finding the teen alert and walking around the
truck looking for the family’s golden retriever who was riding in the
back of the truck at the time of the crash.The Edgefield teen was taken by ambulance to MCG for treatment of injuries  sustained in the
crash. South Carolina Electric and Gas
workers cut the power to several homes while replacing the power pole.

dog was located and taken to the family home.The teen’s condition was not available. For
