Kyle Greene And Sarah Greene Obituary-Death News; 2 Killed In Crash Involving Car And Dump Truck on I-95
A tragic accident on Interstate 95 in Orangeburg County, South Carolina, claimed the lives of Kyle Greene (32) and Sarah Greene (33), a married couple from Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina.
The fatal incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, May 6, leaving their young child injured but miraculously surviving. This heartbreaking accident has shaken both the local community of Fuquay-Varina and Orangeburg, as it is not only the loss of two devoted individuals but also the life-altering trauma faced by their child, who now faces a future without both parents.
According to the Orangeburg County Coroner’s Office, the collision took place at approximately 12:45 a.m. on May 6, in the northbound lanes of I-95 near mile marker 87. Kyle Greene, who was driving a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, collided with the rear of a 1987 auto dump truck.
The crash resulted in significant damage to both vehicles, leaving the Chevrolet Equinox engulfed in flames, and the Greene family trapped inside. Despite firefighters and paramedics quickly responding to the scene, Kyle and Sarah Greene were both declared dead due to the injuries sustained during the collision. Tragically, the couple’s young child, who was in the backseat, was also injured but survived the crash.
The crash occurred in a stretch of I-95 that has seen prior incidents, though none as devastating as this. Kyle Greene, a father and husband, was pronounced dead at the scene, and Sarah Greene, who was the front-seat passenger, succumbed to her injuries as well.
The child, whose name and age have not been disclosed, was transported to Prisma Health Richland Hospital for immediate care, though their condition remains under observation. It is fortunate that the child survived the accident, but the trauma of losing both parents at such a young age is unimaginable.
The driver of the dump truck, Noely Rafael Vargas, a 27-year-old man, sustained injuries to his legs and was transported to Garnet Health Medical Center in Middletown for treatment.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the full extent of his injuries or his condition, but the truck driver managed to escape the collision without life-threatening injuries.
Authorities are still gathering information regarding the driver’s actions prior to the crash and have not ruled out factors such as driver fatigue, speed, or improper lighting on the dump truck.
Investigating the Cause of the Collision
The South Carolina Highway Patrol (SCHP) is actively investigating the cause of the fatal crash. Master Trooper William Bennett from the SCHP confirmed that both vehicles were traveling in the same direction when the crash occurred.
The Chevrolet Equinox collided with the rear of the dump truck, but the exact circumstances of why Kyle Greene’s vehicle veered into the truck remain unclear. Preliminary reports indicate that there were no signs of erratic driving, but further investigation is underway.
