Myrtle Beach Pedestrians
Over the Memorial Day weekend, a local man was charged with reckless driving and three counts of hit and run. According to the police report, the man was involved in a hit and run incident which pinned a pedestrian between a vehicle and a building along Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach.
After the car accident occured, officers interviewed witnesses and learned that a man driving a Chevrolet Caprice was speeding in the northbound lanes of Ocean Boulevard. The vehicle then struck another Caprice. The vehicle then hit a convertible car in front of the Blue Bay Resort and the crash caused that vehicle to hit a pole near the motel and pin a pedestrian between the car and building. The man who initially caused the automobile accident remains in jail without bond.
This summer, pedestrians and drivers in the Myrtle Beach area should take extra caution. As a pedestrian, remember to always cross the street at a crosswalk only when the area is clear of on-coming traffic. Drivers should be aware of pedestrians crossing the roads in busy areas of Myrtle Beach like Ocean Boulevard and Route 17 Business.
