A Deadly Pattern on Anderson County Roads
Saturday's crash adds to a grim tally for Anderson County, where roadway deaths have piled up in recent weeks. At least 35 people had died in crashes across the county so far in 2026, compared with 37 for all of 2025, according to South Carolina Department of Public Safety data cited by thestate.com. Statewide, the same report noted that 654 people had died on South Carolina roads through late September of this year, following at least 914 deaths in 2025.
In late September, three people were killed in separate Anderson County crashes over just a three-day span, per the same account. One of those victims was 59-year-old Seneca resident Judith Anne Hathaway, who was struck and killed by a Ford pickup truck on S.C. 28 Bypass near Electric City Smoke in Anderson on Sept. 24; she died at the scene. Separate reporting indicated the collision happened at Highway 28 Bypass and Frampton Street before 7 a.m. as Hathaway was attempting to cross the highway.
Other Recent Pedestrian Deaths in the County
Anderson County has seen multiple fatal pedestrian crashes this year beyond last week's cluster. In June, a 2025 Kia sedan struck two pedestrians on Pearman Dairy Road near Whitehall Road around 10:59 p.m., killing one at the scene while the other died later at AnMed, according to foxcarolina.com. In a separate incident, a 2003 Hyundai SUV struck and killed a bicyclist on S.C. 28 near West Market Street, with the driver left uninjured, as reported by WYFF4.
