  Alcohol believed to be a factor in Friday night crash web posted December 16, 2006  SWEETWATER – Shortly
after 9pm Friday night Deputies, Countyline
Firefighters, and EMS were summoned to a two-car crash on northbound
Highway 25 and Square Circle Ranch Road. A Chevrolet Suburban was
traveling northbound on highway 25 when a white Chevrolet 1500 4x4
truck reportedly ran the stop sign on Square Circle Ranch Road. The
driver of the suburban tried to avoid the truck by swerving to the
right but hit the rear of the truck spinning the truck around. The
suburban stopped just short of several signs at the intersection. The driver of the
truck was immobilized and transported to MCG. The
driver of the suburban, a Johnston woman, and several teens riding with
her received minor injuries and were not transported but were treated
on the scene.Alcohol is suspected as a contributing factor in the crash as the driver of the truck is suspected of being intoxicated when he ran the stop sign.  Alcohol is reported
as being a factor in 396 fatalities, or 36% of the 1,093 deaths from
traffic accidents in 2005 in South Carolina. 577 deaths were attributed
to unrestrained occupants.For
