An adult was injured when he was possibly struck by his own vehicle near the intersection of Polk Road and Cross Swamp Road north of Islandton on November 4th. The first reports indicated the patient was struck by a passing vehicle, but it was later determined that his own vehicle had struck him. He was treated at the scene by Firefighter-Paramedics, then transported to meet with the CARE Flight helicopter at Bells Elementary School. The patient was flown to the Trauma Center at Trident Hospital in North Charleston. The SC Highway Patrol is investigating the accident.
