One fatality, injuries to another driver
The Edgefield County Coroner's Office has confirmed that a tragic three-vehicle accident near Johnston, South Carolina has resulted in the death of one person. The victim has been identified as 24-year-old Jamarquious Tompkins from Trenton.
According to reports from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the incident occurred just before 6 p.m. on Sunday at the intersection of South Carolina 191 and Old Plank Road. Tompkins was traveling north on Airport Road in his 2007 Chevrolet sedan when he reached a stop sign.
At the same time, a 2014 Chevrolet pickup truck was heading south on Old Plank and came to a stop at Highway 191. As it proceeded into the intersection, a 2013 Nissan pickup truck traveling south on 191 swerved to avoid colliding with it. Unfortunately, during this evasive maneuver, the Nissan struck Tompkins' car.
Emergency services were immediately called to the scene and both drivers involved in the collision were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. Tragically, despite efforts by medical professionals, Jamarquious Tompkins succumbed to his injuries at approximately 7:18 p.m.
While details regarding any potential charges or further investigations have not been released at this time, authorities have stated that they do not believe alcohol or drugs played a role in causing this devastating accident.
Our thoughts go out to Jamarquious Tompkins' family and friends during this difficult time as they mourn their loss.
