Eutawville, SC (March 10, 2025) – One person was killed, and three others were hospitalized following a crash Sunday afternoon in Orangeburg County.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the accident happened around 2:17 p.m. on Eutaw Rd, approximately one mile south of Eutawville. A 2015 Chevy SUV traveling south on Eutaw Rd veered off the right side of the roadway and struck a 2007 Honda sedan that had been heading north. The impact forced the sedan off the left side of the roadway.
The driver of the SUV, who was the sole occupant, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have not yet released the deceased’s identity.
The sedan was carrying three individuals—a driver and two passengers—all of whom sustained injuries and were transported to the hospital by EMS. Their current conditions remain unknown.

Head-On and Off-Road Crashes in South Carolina
Crashes involving vehicles leaving the roadway can be particularly severe, often leading to fatal outcomes. When a car or SUV veers off course and crosses into another lane, the risk of head-on collisions or side-impact crashes increases dramatically. Rural roads, such as Eutaw Rd, can be especially dangerous due to limited visibility, higher speeds, and lack of median barriers.
South Carolina crash reports indicate that many off-road accidents stem from driver distraction, drowsiness, or overcorrection when attempting to regain control. Such incidents can lead to devastating consequences, as seen in this crash, where one driver lost their life and multiple others were injured.
For families dealing with the aftermath of a fatal accident, the emotional and financial burdens can be overwhelming. Seeking legal guidance and understanding available support options may help those affected navigate the challenges ahead.
