A Greenville County woman has pled guilty in a wreck that killed two people and injured two others in a wreck last year.
The 46-year-old Defendant was responsible for the wreck that caused a Department of Social Services worker and 10-year-old a child who was in DSS custody to lose their lives. According to Prosecutor, the defendant had been inhaling keyboard cleaner, which impaired her driving and in turn, caused the car accident. The Defendant missed a court appearance earlier this summer and was subsequently arrested in Ohio on fugitive warrant, only to later return to South Carolina.
The Defendant pleaded guilty in Pickens for “two counts of felony drunk driving resulting in death and two counts of felony drunk driving involving serious injury.”
The Defendant was subsequently sentenced to 20 years in prison.

An airplane pilot wrecked not his plane, but an airport car in Anderson, South Carolina last week in an accident involving a tractor-trailer. Not an airline pilot, he apparently was flying a private jet.
The car belonged to the Anderson County Regional Airport and existed for the use of individuals, like this airplane pilot, who fly into the airport. The South Carolina Highway Patrol has not provided much information about the accident.
The collision happened on S.C. 28 Bypass near the Sonic Drive-In in Anderson. The pilot hit the rear of a tractor-trailer truck, which had stopped due to a fender-bender in front of it. There is no indication that the truck driver was injured in the accident. Neither were the pilot nor his two children, who were sitting in the back seat. The pilot’s wife, sitting in the passenger seat, required an X-ray to disprove injury.
The wreck will not deprive the airport of a car. A second car will be available, and insurance will replace the wrecked auto soon.

A recent research study found that about one person is killed each day in a DUI-related crash in South Carolina. The most current statistics showed that more than 350 people were killed in the Palmetto State in 2010. This is a disturbing trend as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released new data which showed that, nationally, traffic fatalities actually dropped 14 percent from 2006 to 2010 to 1,080. From this total figure, more than 340 of those deaths were caused by at least one driver with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 or more. In South Carolina, however, more than 70 percent of the state’s drunk driving fatalities were caused by at least one driver with an alcohol level of 0.15 or more, or approximately twice the “legal limit.”
