According to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, a Greenville County deputy was involved in a deadly pedestrian accident.
South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers said that the accident happened at 5:36 a.m. on Thursday on Augusta Road at Old Augusta Road south of Interstate 85.
Johnny Melvin Crouch, aged 65, was trying to cross the road to get to a city bus stop when he was struck by multiple vehicles. Troopers went on to say that after Crouch was hit by the Deputy, there was then another accident involving two other vehicles.
It does not appear that the deputy was responding to a call at the time of the accident and the Highway Patrol has been called in to investigate, which is standard with any deputy-involved collision. Meanwhile the deputy has been placed on administrative leave and the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office Professional Standards Unit is also conducting an internal investigation to determine if there were any policy violations.
