Midday crash sends husband and wife to hospital web posted May 26, 2009 Below: Rescuers prepare the husband for transport  NORTHSIDE – A
husband and wife traveling
to a funeral Monday afternoon ended up being taken by ambulance to the
Greenwood Hospital after their Mercury Mountaineer rolled over after it
was struck by a Ford Mustang GT at the intersection of Highways 25 and
378 around 1:30 pm. The initial call went out to Edgefield County EMS,
Northside Fire Department, Sheriff’s Deputies, and the Highway Patrol
reporting the couple was trapped inside the overturned SUV.The Northside Fire Department was first on the scene and reported that the couple was able to get out of the vehicle and was suffering from unspecified injuries. EMS and firefighters immobilized the couple for transport to Greenwood. The driver of the Mustang was uninjured and refused medical treatment.  (Left:

According to information provided at the scene, the couple was
traveling north on Highway 25 when they approached the intersection
with Highway 378 on their way to a funeral. A Georgia man driving east
on 378 possibly failed to stop at the stop sign and struck the driver’s
side of the Mountaineer causing the driver to loose control as the SUV
rolled at least once and landed on the passenger side on the shoulder
of the northbound highway. Part of the left rear axle, tire, as well as other parts of the SUV, was strewn about the scene. The Mustang suffered heavy damage to the front end and came to rest facing east on Highway 378 in the middle of the road. Both  vehicles
had to be towed from the scene. The driver of
the Mustang was going to be cited in the collision, though no charge
was available at the scene.It took emergency crews nearly two hours to clear the scene and restore all traffic to normal. The intersection is infamous for severe collisions, one which took the life of 11th Circuit Court Judge Marc Westbrook on September 14, 2005 when the car driven by his court clerk, Randy Davis, was broadsided by a tractor-trailer truck. Davis was airlifted to MCG in critical condition and Westbrook was pronounced dead on the scene. © Copyright 2009
