A Hamer man faces two more charges in connection with a crash that killed a baby boy Wednesday night in Dillon County.
Lonnie Latron Freeman, 26, is charged with reckless homicide and driving under suspension, S.C. Highway Lance Cpl. Sonny Collins said.
Freeman was charged Thursday with leaving the scene of an accident.
The crash happened about 8:30 p.m. on Oakland Road near Harley’s Bridge Road, according to highway patrol reports.
Freeman was driving the car when it ran off the road, struck a tree and threw 11-month-old Rodrigo Juarez Marcelo from the vehicle.
The baby wasn’t in a child restraint seat and died at the scene.
Two other people who also were inside the car when it crashed were treated for their injuries.
