Unlicensed teen driver injures two

A two car crash on the Charleston Highway left two people injured and in the hospital on Monday afternoon. One of the vehicles was being driven by a 15-year-old from Bowman. The other car was driven by a 51-year-old from St. George. Both drivers were wearing seatbelts and are believed to be uninjured.

The accident occurred when one driver tried to turn and crossed the path of the other car. It is not clear at this time if the injured passengers were wearing seatbelts. The teen driver has been charged with a violation of his beginner's permit and a failure to yield. The crash is still under investigation.

Texting ban in South Carolina recognizes serious risk to drivers

A bill that bans texting while driving has breezed through committee hearings in the South Carolina House of Representatives. The measure faces little opposition in light of the documented risks of texting and driving. Questions focused on enforcement measures as lawmakers seek to reduce car accidents.

The bill would impose a $100 fine for being caught texting. If an injury results from texting and driving, the fine could increase to anywhere between $2,500 and $5,000, with a potential of five years in prison. If someone dies in a texting-related accident the driver could face fines between $5,000 and $10,000 and up to 10 years in prison.
