South Carolina Highway Patrol Troopers say a deadly single vehicle accident happened at about 11 p.m. Saturday night on Privetts Road. That’s about 6 miles north of Conway.
Troopers say an 18-year old driver, Eric Murrneess, lost control of the vehicle and ran into a tree. They say a passenger was ejected; a 12-year old boy who died from the injuries of the crash.
Deputy Coroner Chris Burroughs identifies the boy as Timothy J. Martin of Loris. Burroughs says Martin was in the 7th grade at Loris Middle School.
Troopers also say Murrneess was transported to the Loris Emergency Room, and no charges are filed at this time.
Officials on the scene also say another 12 year old boy was taken to the hospital by their mother.
Troopers say they are continuing to investigate the accident.
