Shortly before 5 a.m., a deputy responded to the 1300 block of Kings Highway for a crash. The caller informed SCSO that the car was off the roadway.

Due to the extent of the crash, the car’s roof caved in, all airbags deployed and debris was scattered everywhere. As the deputy searched the scene, they allegedly discovered a Twisted Tea box in the debris.

According to the SCSO, the driver attempted to lie and stated “nobody” was driving. However, deputies said the driver and another woman passenger showed clear signs of intoxication.

After running the driver’s information, deputies learned that her license was revoked due to a previous DUI.

The driver was charged with:

  • Driving under the influence

  • DUI maiming

  • Driving with a revoked license

  • Reckless driving

SCSO said both women were taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries.
