HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) – A woman has died after being hit by a Horry County Police Department truck on the beach Thursday afternoon, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol and witnesses.
WMBF News received several videos and pictures from people that show a Horry County police vehicle and several beachgoers near Springmaid Pier and they are surrounding the front of the truck.
A WMBF News viewer captured this video of a scene involving a beachgoer and a Horry County police vehicle on Thursday.
One witness said the truck ran over a woman and pinned her underneath one of the wheels, and people tried to lift the police truck off of her.
Immediately myself and probably everybody on the beach turned around and just went running,” Bilodeau described.
SCHP said the truck was coming off the Nash Street beach access onto the beach when the truck hit the woman.
We asked the Horry County Police Department if they would provide a statement, but a spokesperson refused. »
