Two Car Accident Near Jamestown Leaves One Dead Days Before the Holiday
After a wonderful holiday with family, friends, and loved ones, injury lawyers in Charleston feel troubled in knowing a South Carolina family had a rough Thanksgiving after one of their members died just before Thanksgiving. A Boneau Beach man suffered life-ending body and serious head injuries, according to the Berkeley County Chief Deputy Coroner, after a wreck with another automobile. The accident occurred last Monday evening on U.S. Highway 17A just south of Jamestown.
Authorities say the deceased driver was most likely trying to turn around when it crossed over 17A in front of St. Stephan, South Carolina woman’s Nissan Altima. According the female driver of the Altima, when the Toyota came across the highway her vehicle struck the driver’s side of the unspecified model of Toyota.
A Corporal for the South Carolina Highway Patrol said the female driver that struck the Bonneau Beach’s man Toyota was taken to Trident Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. It was also noted, in the Post and Courier report that the driver killed was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the collision.

With that in mind, the members of Howell and Christmas, LLC urge all drivers to practice safe driving and always wear a seat belt.
