04/July/2020 – Water Rescue – “A” Shift A July 4th outing turned tragic when a small boat collided with a piling on the Edisto River south of the ACE Basin Parkway Bridge (US Hwy 17) at Jacksonboro Saturday morning at 00:54. The boat was traveling in the dark river after midnight when it struck a wooden piling ejecting the boat operator into the water and critically injuring an adult female. The female was unconscious following the impact. The other two adults searched the area for the missing driver, who was not wearing a life jacket, without success and they notified Colleton 9-1-1.
