 A young guy died in a horrific accident in Greenville County, leaving his family and the community in great mourning. According to officials, Shane Roberts McVey, 19, died as a result of injuries sustained in a collision with an 18-wheeler on Friday night while traveling as a passenger in a Toyota 4Runner.

Around 5:00 p.m. on Friday, the event happened on White Horse Road (Highway 25), near its intersection with SC 123, a frequently congested region. According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the driver attempted to turn west onto SC 123 while the Toyota 4Runner, with five passengers, was heading north on White Horse Road. At the same time, a tractor-trailer traveling south on White Horse Road struck the SUV, causing a severe collision.

Parker Fire District emergency workers arrived on the scene quickly and discovered multiple injured people inside the Toyota. All five of them were promptly sent to local hospitals for treatment. According to reports, the 18-wheeler's driver was unharmed.

There were significant delays as troopers investigated the collision and crews attempted to clear the debris from the road following the event, which forced authorities to reroute traffic on White Horse Road for several hours.

Shane Roberts McVey was among those injured; he was sent in critical condition to Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital. The Greenville County Coroner's Office subsequently verified that McVey passed away from his wounds the next day, Saturday, despite medical intervention.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is looking into the crash and is working to determine what might have caused it. Although no more details have been released, authorities are investigating the tractor-trailer's speed and the timing of the 4Runner's attempted turn.

Additionally, this event has reignited conversations about road safety in Greenville County, especially on White Horse Road, which is known for its heavy traffic, intricate intersections, and accident history.
