BEAUFORT COUNTY, SC — A four-vehicle crash claimed the life of one woman and sent many others to the hospital in Beufort County, South Carolina on Thursday, June 5th, 2014, according to a news article from The Island Packet.
Authorities close to the crash investigation have reason to believe that 65-year-old Anne Kravitz was killed when the Lexus in which she was a passenger was crushed by a tractor-trailer that had rolled while driving on Fording Island Road around 11:30 Thursday morning.
Scene of the Accident
Anne Kravitz was killed in the accident, although it is unclear if she died at the scene or after she was taken to a nearby hospital.
Four people were taken by EMS personnel to a nearby hospital after the accident.
The investigation is being handled by the South Carolina State Police at this time.
Commentary:
This is an accident that commands a thorough investigation. No commercial vehicle, including dump trucks, tractor-trailers, box trucks, and garbage haulers have ever rolled onto its side that was driving at a speed that was safe for conditions. If this road is a bending, winding highway, and the truck driver was driving too fast and lost control before the vehicle tipped, the company that employs that truck driver needs to be held responsible for the accident, just as you would be held responsible if you caused a similar accident.
