Justina Marie Waters was 32 and lived in Starr. On Thursday she drove her 2010 Honda Odyssey west on Carl Baker Road. Around 5:20 in the afternoon the minivan left the left side of the road. It hit a tree. She was the only one in the vehicle.
Emergency crews got there soon after. They found her already gone. The Anderson County Coroner’s Office said she died right there on the scene. No one could do anything more for her.
The coroner looked at what happened. Multiple traumatic injuries killed her. They called the death accidental. She had not put on her seatbelt that day.
South Carolina Highway Patrol and the coroner’s office are still checking the details. They want to know exactly how the van left the road. So far the basic facts stay the same.
Justina had roots in Starr and Anderson County. Friends and family knew her as someone still building her days. A regular drive turned into the end of her road.
People who cared about her now face empty spots where she used to be. The investigation continues while they try to take in the news.
The crash happened fast on a quiet stretch of Carl Baker Road. One moment she was moving. The next she was not.
