A pedestrian was struck and killed Wednesday morning off Monticello Road in Richland County.

Michael D. Stevenson, 48, of Margate Street, died on the scene about 6:30 a.m. of multiple trauma, said Richland County Coroner Gary Watts.

The incident happened on Blue Ridge Terrace off Monticello, said S.C. Highway Patrol spokesman Lance Cpl. Josef Robinson. William Austin, 56, was traveling east in a 1989 Dodge van when he hit Stevenson, who also was walking east in the roadway, Robinson said.

If you or someone you love has been involved in a pedestrian accident, you should speak to the knowledgeable pedestrian accident attorneys at the Louthian Law Firm as soon as possible. Pedestrian accidents can be contentious, with both sides arguing about fault even as bills pile up. Pedestrians who survive a crash often come away with very serious, potentially disabling injuries like neck and spine injuries, traumatic brain injuries and multiple fractures. Good legal representation can help you secure money to help pay medical bills, funeral costs and lost wages, as well as compensate you for pain and suffering, wrongful death and other emotional injuries.
