Earlier this week, a tractor-trailer truck traveling on I-77 hit a smaller SUV. The accident happened in Chester County during the early hours of the morning, around 3:45 a.m. The very large truck sent the SUV flying into the median where it flipped over. Witnesses said the tractor-trailer swerved and the fled the scene. This week the South Carolina Highway Patrol conducted a statewide search and now believe they have identified the driver. There were two passengers in the SUV that flipped, one died on the scene and the other was taken to the hospital.
At the Goings Law Firm, LLC we commend the South Carolina Highway Patrol for identifying the suspect of this fatal hit-and-run. In South Carolina, we believe that perpetrators of such horrible crimes should be brought to justice. While someone who caused a hit and run can be help responsible for criminal charges. A driver who causes an accident and flees the scene can also be help responsible by civil penalties. At the Goings Law Firm, LLC we seek to deter this wrongful hit-and-run conduct by seeking punitive damages for the victims of these unfortunate accidents.
