Lexington, South Carolina
The two people who were killed after a stolen car crashed near the S.C. State Farmer’s Market were identified Monday night by the Lexington County Coroner’s office.
Timothy W. Roberts and Nicole Y. Beran were in a stolen vehicle being pursued by the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department when they collided with a commercial delivery vehicle as it made a left turn, according to Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher.
The 44-year-old Roberts, of Swansea, was pronounced dead at the scene because of his injuries, Fisher said. Beran, 39, of Lexington, was pronounced dead at an area hospital.
Neither Roberts nor Beran were wearing a seat belt, according to Fisher, who said the “driver of the commercial delivery vehicle was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”
The crash occurred just before 11:30 a.m. on U.S. 321 at the entrance to the S.C. State Farmers Market and involved a 2004 Volkswagen convertible and a Ford delivery van, according to Lance Cpl. David Jones of the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
