Flying Umbrellas Pose Deadly Risk, Past Incidents Highlight Danger
A 56-year-old Huger woman tragically died Saturday night at the Driftwood Grill on Lake Marion after a storm-loosened umbrella struck her in the neck, severing her carotid artery. The incident, attributed to high winds during severe weather, resulted in her death at the scene. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, and the restaurant has expressed condolences to the family and community.
