A toddler succumbed to her injuries after a single-vehicle wreck on U.S. 15 near Jefferson Road Sunday evening.
The toddler, a 15- to 16-month-old girl, died after being flown to Prisma Health Richland Hospital, Sumter County Coroner Robbie Baker said. Her name is not being released.
At about 5:28 p.m., a 2012 Hyundai Genesis was traveling north on U.S. 15 when it left the road, struck a stop sign, struck a tree and then overturned, South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Tyler Tidwell said. There was a total of four occupants in the vehicle.
The driver was also flown to Prisma Health Richland Hospital, Tidwell said. It is unknown if the driver was wearing a seatbelt.
The toddler was originally taken to Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital but was later flown to Richland. The two other passengers were also transported to the hospital.
