CHESTER, S.C. (AP) - Chester County prosecutors say a truck driver involved in a deadly crash on Interstate 77 tried to hide evidence connected to the accident.
The Herald of Rock Hill reports (https://bit.ly/22WBLpv ) 58-year-old Stevie Breland is charged with hit-and-run involving death and fleeing the scene of the Feb. 8 crash.
Investigators said 49-year-old Flora Ellenburg of Salisbury, North Carolina, was killed when the truck hit her sport-utility vehicle.
Deputy 6th Circuit Solicitor Julie Hall said Breland removed a damaged bumper and hid it in a wooded area. They said he got a new bumper and painted his truck. Hall said he also falsified his trucking log to change his location at the time of the accident.
Breland is jailed without bond. Online records don’t show whether he has an attorney.
