Baby, 3 Months, Dead After Multiple Cars and Truck Crash on a South Carolina Highway

Officials said the boy had been in a car seat when the back of the car he was in was struck by a cement truck

A baby died in a multi-vehicle car crash in South Carolina this week.

The Anderson County Coroner’s Office said in a press release shared on social media this week that a 3-month-old — identified as Jakai Govan from Anderson — was killed in a 10 car crash that occurred on Thursday on Highway 29 near Williamston around 1:45 p.m. local time.

The coroner’s office said in the release that the infant was “restrained” in a car seat inside of a 2013 Chevy Impala that had been stopped “due to roadwork in the area" when a cement truck “traveling too fast for conditions” hit the back of the vehicle.

"The impact caused the cement truck to overturn down an embankment and pushed the Chevy Impala into the back of a Dodge Pickup truck which then caused a pile-up effect," the press release said.

Emergency crews “extricated” the baby from the car, and he was “airlifted” to Greenville Memorial Hospital, though he eventually “succumbed to his injuries” from the crash and died at the hospital on Friday morning, per the coroner's office.

The coroner’s office determined that his cause of death was a “subdural hemorrhage to a skull fracture,” and that his manner of death was “accidental.”

Master Trooper Mitchell Ridgeway told WYFF that the driver of the sedan was also airlifted to the same hospital, while the driver of the pickup truck also had to be “extricated” from his car. He was transported to the hospital with back and neck injuries, the outlet said.

Ridgeway added to WRTV that the driver of the concrete truck, who was from Honea Path, had not been injured in the crash.
