Driver Ejected in Two-Vehicle Crash at US 378 in Florence Co., SC

Florence County, SC (June 20, 2026) – Two people were critically hurt on Wednesday morning, June 17, in a two-vehicle crash at US 378 and Halfmoon Road in Florence County, with one driver ejected from their vehicle. 

One of the drivers was ejected from the vehicle during the crash, according to the Florence County Fire Rescue. Both people were transported for further treatment following the accident. No further details about the severity of their injuries or their identities were confirmed in the initial report.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

 We hope both those seriously hurt receive the best possible care and make as full a recovery as possible.

What Compensation May Be Available After an Ejection Crash in Florence County, SC?

Ejection from a vehicle during a collision typically indicates extreme impact forces and frequently results in some of the most severe injuries seen in vehicle crashes, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and severe orthopedic trauma.

South Carolina's fault-based insurance system allows those seriously hurt to pursue compensation directly from the at-fault driver's liability coverage, making it important to identify how the crash occurred and which driver bears responsibility.

The categories of compensation that may be available following an ejection crash extend well beyond the costs of initial emergency treatment. Surgical procedures, intensive care, extended hospitalization, and long-term rehabilitation are among the direct medical expenses that can accumulate rapidly in the weeks and months following a crash of this severity.

Beyond these immediate costs, lost income during what may be a lengthy or permanent disability, diminished long-term earning capacity, and the broader impact of catastrophic injuries on a person's quality of life are among the additional categories of damages that may need to be considered depending on the specific circumstances of each person's recovery.

Because injuries severe enough to involve ejection from a vehicle can take considerable time to fully understand, those hurt should be cautious about accepting any early settlement offer before the complete scope of their medical needs and future consequences has been established.

South Carolina requires insurers to offer underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage, which may provide additional sources of compensation if the at-fault driver's policy limits are insufficient to address injuries of this severity.

A South Carolina car accident lawyer may be able to help those seriously hurt identify all applicable insurance coverage, monitor the ongoing investigation as findings become available, and ensure that any resolution reached reflects the full and lasting scope of their losses.
