The Post & Courier reported that the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an accident on Monday night that claimed a life on Folly Road.
According to the initial report, a moped carrying two individuals swerved off Folly Road and collided with a county recycling bin. Both passengers sustained injuries and were transported to MUSC, where one tragically died.

Importantly, motorcycles are vehicles with the same rights and privileges as any other motor vehicle on the roadway and passengers on motorcycles have rights as well.
