 Second crash at Fox Creek HS this month web posted August 29, 2006  MERRIWETHER – A
collision at the entrance to Fox Creek High School was
the second in just three weeks at the location. The area is frequently
the site of crashes during the school year. On Monday afternoon around
3:20 two men returning from a day of fishing were approaching the
entrance to Fox Creek High School on Martintown Road from the east when
a truck in front of them “stopped suddenly to turn in,” to the school
the driver said. “We were able to stop in time,” he said, but the car
behind him was not as fortunate and slammed into the boat and trailer
he was towing at the time. The driver of the
Ford F-150 with the 18-foot boat and trailer did not
describe the truck that made the abrupt stop, but said that he was
pretty sure he and his passenger were going to get hit and told his
passenger to “hang on” just before the impact. The woman, who was also
traveling east on Martintown Road skidded a few yards before her Saturn
coupe hit the boat and trailer. The car and the boat and trailer were
heavily damaged in the crash.None of the three people involved sustained any injuries; however, the woman driving the Saturn did request to be “checked out” by Edgefield County EMS, who also responded to the scene. Though Fox Creek High School, an Edgefield County Public School, is located just yards inside the county line, the road is in the North Augusta City limits and the North Augusta Public Safety worked the crash site. As EdgefieldDaily.com reported on August 8, two Fox Creek students collided at the intersection with heavy damage to both trucks but no injuries were reported as a result of the crash. The number of collisions in that area has sharply increased since the charter school opened two years ago. Property on Short Cut Road, off Stephens Road, has been purchased by the school for a new building. For
