A woman died in a crash in the Homeland Park area of Anderson County in the early hours of Friday, and the coroner's office has not yet released her identity. The fatal wreck happened near Airline Road and White Field Drive, where investigators are still working to piece together exactly what happened.
According to FOX Carolina News, the Anderson County coroner's office reported the fatal crash and said it occurred around 1:44 a.m. near Airline Road and Whitefield Drive. WYFF 4, however, reported that the crash happened at Airline Rd. and White Field Dr. in the Homeland Park area around 2 a.m. Friday — a discrepancy in timing that has not been resolved between the two outlets.
The coroner's office confirmed to WYFF 4 that a woman was behind the wheel. The station's report also noted that it remains unclear how many vehicles were involved in the crash or whether anyone else was hurt. FOX Carolina's account, meanwhile, described a single vehicle that ran off the right side of the road, with the driver ejected and not wearing a seatbelt.
Identity Withheld Pending Family Notification
As of Friday morning, officials had not released the name of the woman who died. WYFF 4 reported that the coroner's office is withholding her identity until next of kin can be notified, a standard practice in fatal crash investigations across the state.
The crash adds to a string of deadly collisions in Anderson County this year. In August, a separate crash on East West Parkway left 57-year-old Karri Whitman dead at a hospital nearly a week after the wreck, according to the same station's earlier report. And on Aug. 7, a head-on collision on SC Highway 81 near Bridges Drive — involving a 2016 Nissan Altima and a 2021 Toyota Corolla — killed one person and injured another, per the South Carolina Highway Patrol, as reported by The State.
Statewide Numbers Remain Incomplete
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety tracks fatal collisions by county, but its published figures are preliminary and were only current through 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 11, 2026, according to the agency's own website. The agency directs the public to individual county coroner's offices for confirmed fatality information, meaning no verified statewide count covering Friday's crash is yet available.
No further details about the cause of the crash or the vehicles involved have been released. Hoodline will update this story as the Anderson County coroner's office provides additional information.
