Fatal Motorcycle Accident Being Investigated by SCHP & Anderson Coroner

The SCHP and the Anderson County Coroner’s Office is investigating a motorcycle crash that occurred last night around 10:20 pm on Old Greenville Highway near Pendleton, SC that has resulted in one person’s death.

Medshore EMS, Anderson County EMS, Anderson County Fire Department and South
Carolina Highway Patrol responded to the scene.

Brent Simpson, Deputy Coroner identified the deceased victim as CHRISTIAN BREWER
25 years old from Liberty, SC. Simpson said Brewer died as a result of a head injury secondary to blunt force trauma after crashing his motorcycle into a utility pole. The victim was not wearing a helmet.

The investigation indicates that the victim was traveling west on Old Greenville Highway
towards Pendleton, SC. It is apparent he lost control of his motorcycle after it “dipped”
off a newly paved section of the road way into the opposite lane that was not paved. He
apparently lost control when he tried to maneuver the motorcycle back on to the paved
section of roadway. The investigation is on-going by the Anderson County Office of the Coroner and the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
