On Friday morning, a deputy from the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office sustained injuries after being struck by a vehicle while on duty. The incident occurred as the deputy was directing traffic at Whitesville Elementary School, as reported by Cpl. Carli Drayton. The sheriff’s office received notification of this incident shortly before 7:30 a.m., and unfortunately, the vehicle involved did not stop after the collision. The injured deputy, who also serves as a School Resource Officer, was subsequently transported to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening. The South Carolina Highway Patrol is currently investigating this case as a hit-and-run, and individuals with information are encouraged to contact them.
