Wanted Man Injured in Fatal Crash

One of the Travelers Rest Police Department's most wanted suspects has been capture after he was involved in a wreck that killed an Easley man last month.

As Easley Patch earlier reported, a Highway Patrol trooper was pursuing an SUV driven by Josiah Terry, 22, of Easley, on June 28 when the SUV went off a bridge on Old Easley Highway.

The vehicle landed on the railroad tracks below.

Terry was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two passengers in the SUV were injured in the crash and taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital.

The Travelers Rest Tribune reports that one of the passengers was Jashaun Deck, 31, of Easley.

Deck was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run in Travelers Rest last October that left a women seriously injured, the paper reports.

According to the Tribune, a vehicle was waiting to turn onto Scruggs Road when a Mercedes went around it into oncoming traffic, striking a pickup truck.

Witnesses told police a black male exited the Mercedes, removed a small child from the back seat, then got into another car which had been following the Mercedes. That car then turned around and drove off.

Deck was identified as a suspect in the hit-and-run on October 21, 2012 and charged with hit-and-run resulting in great bodily injury, driving under suspension, habitual traffic offender, driving on the wrong side of a divided highway and failure to properly restrain a child.

Deck, who gave officers a fake name after the fatal accident Friday, has been served with warrants and was still being treated at Greenville Memorial Hospital Monday after posting a personal recognizance bond.
