Greenwood, South Carolina
The Greenwood County coroner and the Highway Patrol are investigating a crash that claimed two lives Thursday morning.
The crash was reported around 7:30 a.m. on Cokesbury Road near Rose Ridge Road.
Coroner Sonny Cox confirmed two fatalities were involved after two vehicles crashed head-on and the driver in each vehicle was killed.
Troopers said a 2011 ford Focus that was traveling north crossed the center line and struck a 2008 Suzuki SUV.
Both drivers died at the scene and were not wearing seat belts, troopers said. They reportedly suffered blunt force trauma and their deaths were ruled accidental.
The coroner later identified the victims as 22-year-old Cheyna Eve Fore of Hodges and 50-year-old John Charles Neal Jr. of Greenville.
"He was a good man. He touched a lot of people's lives," said family of John Neal. His family said the father of 7 and grandfather of 10 was on his way to work in Greenville when the crash happened.
