Driver arrested in hit-and-run after 14-year-old girl killed
WARRENVILLE, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A suspect has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run that left a Warrenville teenage girl dead.
Terry Sizemore, of Gloverville, was identified as the driver and turned himself in early Monday, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
He’s being held in Aiken County jail on a charge of hit-and-run involving a death, according to jail records.
Sizemore’s bond was set at $25,000.
Faith Williams, 14, died Friday night along Augusta Road, according to authorities.
It’s not clear whether she died from a dirt bike crash that sent her onto Augusta Road or whether she was killed by a car that fled the scene after possibly hitting her.
What authorities do know is that she was a enger on a dirt bike that was traveling north on a sidewalk in the 1600 block of Augusta Road. The dirt bike hit a mailbox around 6:20 p.m., sending the bike spilling onto Augusta Road.

Crews continue to battle wildfires in South Carolina amid dry conditions and gusty winds as residents were forced to evacuate in some areas.
Meanwhile, a southbound white sedan hit something, damaging the right front of the car, and left the scene.
Authorities said Friday they weren’t sure whether the vehicle hit Faith or coincidentally something else.
Aiken County Coroner Darry Ables said an autopsy in Newberry should help determine what killed her.
“Faith was a very beautiful person, had a very big heart, and she loved to make people happy,” her father, Michael Irvin, said Saturday, less than 24 hours later. “And she loved to make herself look beautiful, because she was.”
Either way, her family is deeply saddened by the tragedy.
“She will be missed,” her dad said. “It’s hard. There’s nothing else you can say about it. It’s hard.”
She was an all-around great kid who would do things for others and not expect much in return, he said.
“She was loved. She was a loving person. Just a great kid in a bad situation – wrong place, wrong time.”
