Warrenville teen dies after dirt bike accident on Augusta Road
Dad shares memories of 14-year-old killed in dirt bike accident
WARRENVILLE, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A family is ing their 14-year-old child who died after a dirt bike accident and hit-and-run crash.
Faith Williams died Friday night at the scene of a dirt bike accident along Augusta Road.
“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.”
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 vehicle that fled the scene after possibly hitting her.
Brush blazes close roads, alarm neighbors as officials warn of danger
With fire danger high across the region, a series of brush fires left dozens of acres scorched Friday on both sides of the Savannah River and caught at least one house on fire.
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.
Meanwhile, a southbound vehicle hit something, damaging the right front of the car, and left the scene.
Authorities aren’t sure yet 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.
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.
Irvin said the family wants to get the word out about the car so it can be found. To his understanding, it’s light-colored and should have damage to the front right corner and on the right side.
2 arrested after infant found with multiple bone fractures
Two people have been charged with unlawful conduct toward a child after an infant was found to have multiple bone fractures, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
“If anybody knows anything or has seen anything ... please police and help us find who did this to our baby girl,” he said.
“She was loved. She was a loving person. Just a great kid in a bad situation – wrong place, wrong time.”
