The accident, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol, happened about 6:29 p.m., involving a 2014 Honda Sedan. The ill-fated sedan was heading north on SC 101 in the vicinity of the intersection with Sharon Church Road when disaster struck.

The Highway Patrol, meanwhile, is working relentlessly to piece together the events leading up to the crash, promising a full investigation into the casualty.
