From staff reports
A woman was killed in a crash early Monday morning on Trask Parkway between the Laurel Bay and Shanklin Road intersections.
Burton Fire District, MCAS Fire Department, and Beaufort County EMS responded to a motor vehicle collision just after 6:30 a.m., that resulted in two injuries – one critical and a fatality.
Initial reports indicated a head-on collision between two SUVs, with occupants trapped and unconscious.
Emergency crews arrived on scene to the two-vehicle collision. Burton fire crews removed and helped stabilize a male occupant with critical injuries who was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Another occupant, a female, was pronounced dead on the scene, and a third occupant sustained what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.
All lanes of Trask Parkway were closed for more than two hours while emergency crews worked and removed roadway hazards, and the scene was investigated by law enforcement.
