SUMTER COUNTY, S.C. — Authorities say one person has died days after a crash in Sumter sent three people to the hospital.
Corporal Nick Pye with the South Carolina Highway Patrol said the initial crash happened on Nov. 13 around 8:15 a.m. on Queen Chapel Road near Ebenezer Road. Pye said a 2006 Honda sedan was heading east on Queen Chapel Road when it ran off the left side of the road, hitting a tree and a fence.
All three occupants of the vehicle were hospitalized, and the backseat passenger later died. The South Carolina Highway Patrol deferred to the Sumter County coroner for additional information about the deceased victim.
