2 Killed, 1 Injured in Cross Car Accident
Two drivers died and a passenger was taken to a hospital after the early Sunday crash on S.C. Highway 6.
Malik X. Becoate, 20, of Cross, and Quinton Levonde Holman, 38, of Holly Hill, were killed in a two-vehicle car crash on S.C. Highway 6 in Cross on Sunday, according to the Berkeley County Coroner's Office.
What Happened in the S.C. Highway 6 Crash
The coroner's office was notified of the crash at about 5:53 a.m. Sunday. The coroner said Becoate had been behind the wheel of a 2016 Toyota Camry, while Holman drove a 2018 Nissan Maxima. The coroner said both men died at the scene from their injuries.
The Highway Patrol said the collision happened at about 3:15 a.m. near Nicholas Lane, with the Nissan heading west and the Camry heading east. Each vehicle carried one passenger. The Highway Patrol said the Nissan's passenger was not physically injured, and the Camry's passenger was taken to Trident Medical Center for treatment.
Who Is Looking Into the Cross Crash
The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating the crash along with the Berkeley County Coroner's Office. No charges have been announced. Fire and rescue crews, EMS and sheriff's deputies from Berkeley County also came to the scene.
Vehicles from a serious crash are often towed to a secure lot and held for inspection. That is a standard step, and the vehicles can be held for weeks.

Affected by an accident like this?
Here is what people in South Carolina usually need, in the order it comes up.
Emergency care. Emergency rooms must check and stabilize you, even if you can't pay. The bill comes later.
Your vehicle. Tow yards usually charge for every day a towed vehicle sits there.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Hospital bills. Most hospitals have a program that cuts bills for people with low income, and you can apply months after the first bill.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
