An adult and a juvenile were injured in a single vehicle, high speed MVC in the 4500 block of Green Pond Highway (SC Hwy 303) Friday afternoon April 19. A northbound Nissan Altima crossed into the southbound ditch, struck a driveway culvert, and became airborne. The passenger car struck a large pine tree approximately 15 feet off the ground, then fell back into the ditch behind a guardrail. The adult female driver was trapped in the wreckage. A 15 year-old female passenger suffered traumatic injuries but was able to exit the vehicle on her own. Sheriff's Deputies arrived first and began providing aid to the injured. Firefighter-Paramedics arrived a short time later and extricated the driver. Both patients were transported to the Trauma Center at MUSC in Charleston. The SC Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. Traffic on Green Pond Highway was blocked for approximately 45 minutes.
