BEAUFORT, S.C. — A Battery Creek High School student was hit by a car on campus Wednesday morning in Beaufort, and the South Carolina Highway Patrol is gathering details on what happened.
District leaders messaged families that early information pointed to an accident. They said the student’s parents had been contacted and that first responders helped at the scene.
No age, injury list or medical update was shared publicly. Officials cited privacy limits and asked parents of any witnesses to reach out to the school for counseling help if needed.
Burton Fire District units arrived Wednesday morning for a crash near the school. Crews said the vehicle tied to the call looked largely undamaged and that the person struck had injuries that were not life-threatening.
Fire officials described the call as looking like a driver left the scene and handed the file to the Highway Patrol. Beaufort County EMS also answered with firefighters but would not confirm a hospital transport.
The high school is at 1 Dolphin Drive, Beaufort, SC 29902 along the southern Battery Creek corridor. District superintendent Mark Doane leads Beaufort County School District.
