Logging Truck Driver Charged in Fatalities of Two Children After Richburg, South Carolina Collision
I let you know about this intersection collision and the resulting fatalities back on March 27. According to WIS-TV and other media reports, the logging truck driver, George Rogers, has been charged with two counts of reckless homicide for the crash in Chester County that killed two children, Hannah Quinton (9) and Nicholas Cherry (7). The logging truck slammed into the van in which the two children were riding at an intersection along Highway 9, not far from Lewisville Elementary School near Richburg. The children had just been picked up from school. Almost the entire driver's side of the van was ripped off in the collision, and logs were scattered across the four-lane highway. This is truly a tragic loss for the loved ones of these two children. What's worse, if the Highway Patrol is right, it looks like this tragedy could have been prevented.
South Carolina injury attorney Michael Jeffcoat also represents persons injured at railroad crossings.
