Greenville, SC (April 28, 2024) – The Greenville County coroner’s office has identified the three women who lost their lives as a result of the fatal accident in Greenville on Friday, April 26. The accident occurred at around noon.

Three women in the vehicle were fatally injured. Authorities have officially identified the victims as Rekhaben Dilip Patel, Sangita Bhavnesh Patel, and Manisha Rajendra Patel.

Fatal Auto Accidents in South Carolina
Every year, over a thousand people lose their lives on our roads due to traffic accidents. A significant number of these incidents are caused by the careless actions of other drivers, with common reasons including:
- Ignoring stop signs, which often leads to collisions at intersections. These crashes can cause vehicles to roll over, leading to severe injuries or even fatalities.
- Vehicle malfunctions, such as tire blowouts, brake failures, or stuck accelerators, can cause serious accidents.
- Wrong-way driving increases the risk of head-on collisions, especially when vehicles are moving fast, raising the likelihood of fatal outcomes.
- Street racing can lead to drivers being unable to stop in time to avoid a crash, and it also makes it more likely for a driver to lose control of their vehicle.
