(SC) Lexington coroner identifies woman who died after trying to jump on semi on I-20

The Lexington County coroner identified a woman who was killed on Interstate 20 after a semi-truck ran over her.

Maliyah Smith, a 19-year-old from East Point, Georgia, was pronounced dead at the hospital after she reportedly ran into the east bound lane of I-20 and tried to jump onto a moving semi-truck, Lexington Coroner Margaret Fisher said. Smith fell under the trailer and was run over.

The incident happened about 11 a.m. Wednesday after Smith stole a series of cars and wrecked one of them on the interstate, according to police.

Smith stole a car from Georgia and broke down in Lexington County, a sheriff’s department spokesperson said. When a person pulled over to help her, she stole that person’s vehicle and drove away on I-20, where she collided with several cars.

Another person went to check on Smith after the wreck on the interstate. Smith tried to steal that person’s vehicle but couldn’t drive the manual transmission, according to a deputy. That’s when she ran into the roadway and tried to leap onto the traveling semi.

The collisions are under investigation by the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

It’s so very sad with something like this happens. I mean, some poor guy lost his car.

There is nothing quite cleaning up someone after they go under the duals. Think toothpaste tube.

I saw a motorcyclist who went under the duals once. It’s something that you never forget. He didn’t have a helmet and what was left of his head looked like a bowl of Spaghettios. I haven’t eaten Spaghettios since.

We ran one where a guy laid down a motorcycle under a semi that he had tried pass and it squeezed him out starting at his feet. Yep, one of those images and smells I will forever carry.

“Read this frequently, my next car is going to be a manual.”

I’m thinking the same thing.

After 21+ years, mine’s kept all family members from asking to borrow it.
