Motorcycle enthusiasts Debra and David Carlson were both injured when a vehicle reportedly pulled out in front of their motorcycle on S.C. 90 in Horry County on November 11. Despite wearing a helmet, Mrs. Carlson suffered grievous injuries in the collision. Mrs. Carlson died Friday, November 21, after being removed from life support. The Carlsons had just returned from a funeral in New York and were travelling that day to visit friends whose son had recently died in an automobile collision. Mr. Carlson was also seriously injured in the collision and has undergone surgical repair of a broken pelvis. The Carlsons moved to South Carolina permanently in 2005 from the Buffalo, New York area. Mrs. Carlson was a retired dental assistant. Mr. Carlson is retired from a 26 year law enforcement career, most prominently punctuated by a high-profile incident while he was an Erie County sheriff’s deputy. Mr. Carlson was shot and a fellow deputy killed in the line of duty when serving a drug warrant in 1989.
