The Columbia Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit (TSU) continues to investigate a fatal collision that occurred last night at the 5600 block of Farrow Road.
Officers responded to the location at approximately 7:00 p.m.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the four males were passengers in a Ford Explorer when it’s believed that the driver was speeding southbound on Farrow Road, lost control of the vehicle, and crashed into a fence and a parked truck and 18-wheeler.
One male died as a result of his injuries sustained in the crash. The three other occupants were taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
The Richland County Coroner’s Office is assisting CPD with the investigation.
