SCHP seeks silver or gray vehicle in Ehrhardt hit-and-run injury
A juvenile was hurt in a late-night hit-and-run on Madison Street in Ehrhardt, and SCHP says the suspect vehicle may be silver or gray.
South Carolina Highway Patrol is asking for help identifying a silver or gray vehicle after a juvenile pedestrian was injured in a hit-and-run on Madison Street in Ehrhardt. Troopers say the driver struck the child and kept going, leaving investigators to piece together what happened and who was behind the wheel.
The crash happened June 6 around 11:30 p.m. in the Bamberg County town. Officials have not released a make, model or license plate number, and they have not said whether the juvenile was walking, crossing the road or standing in the roadway. The only public update on the child’s condition is that the juvenile was injured in the collision.
Residents who saw the crash, noticed the vehicle before or after the impact, or spotted damage that could match a pedestrian strike can contact the Bamberg Patrol Office at 803-245-5746 or Troop Seven headquarters in Orangeburg at 803-531-6844. Troop Seven covers Bamberg County, and its Bamberg office on Bridge Street is the local Highway Patrol point of contact for the area.
For Ehrhardt families, the case is about more than a damaged vehicle or a damaged roadway. A late-night hit-and-run on Madison Street raises hard questions about visibility, speed and driver attentiveness on a neighborhood street, and it leaves a child injured while the community waits for an accountable answer. In a small town where a single crash can ripple quickly through schools, churches and front porches, the next tip could make the difference in identifying the driver and clarifying what happened that night.
