KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. — Authorities say two people died in a Saturday night crash that shut down I-20 in Kershaw County for hours.
According to Master Trooper Gary Miller with the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 10 p.m. near mile marker 94, about five miles west of Camden.
Miller said a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe was heading west on I-20 near mile marker 94 when a 2003 Honda Accord that was heading east lost control and initially left the road to the right. Miller said it then traveled back to the left and crossed the median, striking the Tahoe in the driver's side.
Miller said the driver and a passenger in the Tahoe, later identified by the Kershaw County Coroner as 48-year-old Wanda Reddick and 13-year-old Mya Williams, died. Miller said the driver of the Accord wasn't injured and was the only person in the vehicle.
South Carolina Department of Transportation maps showed that the crash shut down both sides of the interstate for an extended period into Sunday morning.
The crash remains under investigation by the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
