A Somber Evening in Forest City, South Carolina

In what can only be described as a tragic incident, a resident of Forest City, a small town nestled in the heart of South Carolina, has tragically lost his life in a traffic incident that happened over the weekend.

Saturday evening, which was expected to be just like any other day in Forest City, took a grim toll as the town lost 32-year-old local man, Charles Harrison. The incident happened outside a residence on Hardin Road in the quiet heart of Forest City at approximately 5:47 p.m.

Harrison was reported to have been struck by a vehicle in the vicinity of the residential area. Following the catastrophic collision, Harrison was immediately dispatched from the crash scene and taken to Spartanburg Medical Center in neighboring Spartanburg County.
