Charleston I-26 Collision Takes the Lives of Mother & Daughter

By Michael Jeffcoat, Esq.

A North Charleston mother and one of her twin 15 year-old daughters died recently following a collision with a cement truck on Interstate 26 near Summerville, South Carolina . The 15 year old, Marcushire Akabidavis, was driving, while her mother, Christina Akabidavis was in the front passenger seat of their Honda. Marcushire?s twin sister, Maurishire, was a rear seat passenger. Early reports indicate that the care abruptly changed lanes in front of a Redi-Mix truck, which then struck the car. The cement truck overturned on the car and concrete poured into the car. The partially hardened cement slowed the extraction of the victims, but does not appear to have caused their deaths. Maurishire Akabidavis is reportedly in critical condition at MUSC, while the truck driver was in good condition at Trident Hospital Monday night. Early indications are that the truck driver did not contribute to the collision. Thanks to the Charleston Post & Courier and WIS for reporting.
