Spartanburg County, SC (October 3, 2026) – A person was killed on Friday night, October 2, after being hit by an Audi SUV while crossing U.S. 176 in Spartanburg County.
The crash happened around 10:05 p.m. near the intersection with Commerce Point Boulevard. According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the SUV was traveling east on U.S. 176 when it struck the pedestrian.
The pedestrian died as a result of injuries from the crash.
The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation.
Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of the person who lost their life.
Fault in a fatal pedestrian crash may depend on what each person was doing immediately before the collision.
Investigators may examine the driver's speed, direction of travel, visibility, roadway conditions, and the pedestrian's movements when determining how the crash occurred.
Evidence from the scene can help establish the sequence of events. Skid marks, vehicle damage, lighting conditions, traffic signs, lane markings, and the location of the pedestrian may all provide information about what happened.
Witness statements can offer another account of the crash. People who saw the vehicle before the collision or observed the pedestrian crossing the highway may have information that is not captured by physical evidence alone.
Video footage may also be useful. Traffic cameras, nearby business surveillance, dashcam recordings, or other available video could help establish the vehicles' movements and the timing of the crash.
Insurance information may become relevant if the driver's actions contributed to the death. The driver's liability coverage could potentially address certain losses, while the family may need to provide documentation supporting medical, funeral, and other expenses.
Families may also need to preserve records connected to their financial losses. Funeral bills, medical expenses incurred before death, income records, and other documentation can help establish damages that may be available through a wrongful death claim.
A Spartanburg wrongful death lawyer can review the available evidence and explain whether a legal claim may be appropriate. An attorney may also help the family address insurance communications and gather records related to the loss.
