South Carolina among top states for deaths of drivers 65 and older
COLUMBIA South Carolina ranks third in the nation for traffic deaths of drivers 65 and up with 23.8 per 100 000, tied with Montana and behind Mississippi and Wyoming. The state’s high rate is blamed on failing to wear seat belts and a network of narrow winding roads, with calls for age based license renewals and potential vision tests.

New Crime Lab Speeds Up Investigation
Columbia Richland Sheriff Leon Lott plans to speed up investigations by processing evidence in the department rather than sending it to the state crime lab. He has 300000 dollars in grants to equip the department’s labs and hire chemists. Lott says the in house labs will cut turnaround to days or hours if needed and notes state labs are overwhelmed and slow prosecutions.
