Darlington, SC : 15-year-old girl struck and killed while trying to cross busy 4-lane highway in Darlington on Tuesday, March 17, 2015
Darlington, South Carolina
Authorities say a 15-year-old girl has been killed after she was struck by a tractor-trailer and another vehicle as she tried to cross a busy four-lane highway in Darlington.
Darlington County Coroner Todd Hardee told local media outlets that Daejah Hough died at the hospital a short time after she was hit around 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Troopers say Hough was trying to cross U.S. 52 just south of Darlington when she was hit by the truck, and then a minivan.
Highway Patrol Cpl. Sonny Collins says no charges will be filed against the drivers because they couldn't avoid the teen as she tried to cross the highway illegally.
