Another Horry County ATV Crash Earlier This Year
Friday's crash is not the first serious ATV incident Horry County emergency crews have responded to this year. In July, one person was taken to a hospital by helicopter after a separate ATV crash in the Aynor area, according to WMBF News. That incident is not known to be connected to the Conway crash.
In the July case, Horry County Fire Rescue was dispatched shortly after 8 p.m. to a field on Hughes Gasque Road, the station reported. Crews reportedly cut through trees and bushes to reach the driver, who had fallen into an approximately 10-foot ditch. The driver was stabilized and treated before being brought to a landing zone and flown to a hospital, though the station noted the driver's condition was unknown at the time of that report.
No further updates on Friday's Conway crash had been released as of this report.
