How do you hit someone on the beach in the middle of the day?!?
Same way you hit them on a 4 lane city road in the middle of the day…by not paying attention to your surroundings.
This happened a few years ago, too. Not sure if it was Horry or another coastal county, but a government vehicle patrolling a beach ran over a man who was laying on the beach, I believe causing severe injury to his head. I don’t recall if he died or was facing the rest of his life bedridden and possibly brain damaged, but like this incident, it was horrible.
There should be a ban on routine use of vehicles to patrol beaches unless it is a golf cart or similar that allows the driver to see people laying on the beach and has lower speed and gross vehicle weight.
Condolences to the family of this lady.
