Hi I am a Volunteer Firefighter in Saluda, S.C.. We recently
worked an accident this past July that I thought I would share
with you. On July 15, 2006 at 11:30 p.m. my station had a call
on a backroad off of hwy 194 in Saluda, S.C.. The call came in
as a 2 vehicle collision with possible P.I.'s (personal injuries).
We soon arrived on scene to find what was left of a 2006 Chrysler
300. The car as shown in the pictures was cut in half in two
sections. As we soon learned, the vehicle had three passengers.
The driver, driving at a high rate of speed, lost control of
the vehicle, left the road on a curve, and hit a tree broadsided.
We originally thought that it was two cars, but we eventually
learned that it was one vehicle. All 3 passengers of the vehicle were ejected. As you can see, these are the actual pictures on
scene and a news paper clipping cut out. Keep in mind, this vehicle
was never touched by the fire dept or any rescue crews, this
is the actual way we found the car. That night 3 families lives
were changed forever. Two of the three men in the vehicle, ages
16 to 22 lost their lives that night tragically, and the driver,
age 20, was medivaced in a helicopter to the hospital in serious
condition with multiple injuries and soon recovered a few weeks
later. Due to the details of the case I cannot disclose the speed
involved, but I can say it was WELL above the speed limit of
55. In the end it goes without say, speeding is dangerous, please
obey the speed limit, no rescue worker likes having to write
about stories like this. Thanks
Tony, Vol. Fireman
