An elderly Aiken County man surrendered Monday on charges of hit & run in connection with last week’s dirt bike death that killed a 14-year-old girl.
Terry Sizemore, 75, of Gloverville, remained in jail Monday evening on a $25,000 bond on the traffic charge. He is accused of hit & run in Friday’s accident that killed 14-year-old Faith Williams of Warrenville. He lives on Johnson Street, about two miles away from where the accident happened on Augusta Road.
According to the Aiken County Coroner’s Office, at approximately 7:47 p.m., Williams was on a Honda 80R dirt bike traveling north on a sidewalk when it struck a mailbox. The collision caused the dirt bike to spill onto the roadway. At that moment, an unknown vehicle traveling south on Augusta Road struck an object, possibly the fallen dirt bike, damaging the front passenger side of the vehicle before fleeing the scene.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:15 p.m. Friday. A GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her family and a tribute has raised $8,385 of a $10,000 goal, as of Monday evening.
