Two Hurt in Late Night Crash

A portion of SC Hwy 11 between Seneca and Westminster was closed for about six hours last night, until almost 4:00 am early this morning, after a two vehicle accident with entrapment near Parkway Campers. Two people in two separate medical helicopters were taken to Greenville for treatment of what were described as non-life threatening injuries.

Lance Corporal Joel Hovis of the South Carolina Highway Patrol identified the two requiring treatment as Able Chavez-Bausita of Hartwell, Georgia, along with an 8-year old passenger.  Both vehicles were headed south when Hovis said a Chevy pickup driven by Chavez-Bausita was rear ended, and the second driver left the scene, but his truck remained at the location.
