Saluda Woman Killed In New York Accident

WEBSTER, N.Y. A South Carolina woman was one of three people killed Sunday night in a head-on crash near Rochester, state police said.

Melissa K. Hite, 31, of Wightman Road, Saluda, drove the wrong way on a bridge crossing Irondequoit Bay about 6:45 p.m.

Hite was married and had four children, Saluda County Coroner Keith Turner said. The family could not be reached for comment Monday.

Police said the car Hite was driving swiped a minivan and then hit another car head on, killing her and two people in the other car, police said.

The others killed were Michael J. Coyle, 22, of Rochester, and Jessica L. Piurkoski, 18, of Webster, said Michael Davis a senior investigator for the New York State Police.

The two people in the minivan were unhurt, Davis said.

An acquaintance who was with Hite at a restaurant before the accident said Hite had one drink, Davis said.

Police found prescription drugs in the vehicle Hite was driving, Davis said. An alcohol-drug interaction might have contributed to the accident, he said. Police are awaiting the results of a toxicology report.

Hite was in New York visiting an acquaintance and had planned to return to South Carolina on Monday, Davis said.

Court reprimands former magistrate

A former Sumter County magistrate who pleaded guilty to cocaine charges has been publicly reprimanded by the state Supreme Court.

The sanction means Warren Curtis, who resigned shortly after his arrest in June 2002, can never be a judge again without permission from the high court.

In their order Monday, the justices said the public reprimand was the most severe sanction they could issue because Curtis has already left the bench.

The court also suspended Curtis' law license for two years, starting when he was suspended shortly after his arrest.

Ocean Boulevard shooting injures four

MYRTLE BEACH Police think a lone shooter is responsible for a spray of bullets that injured four people along the Grand Strand early Sunday morning on Ocean Boulevard, a street usually packed with tourists.

The names and ages of the shooting victims were not available Sunday, but none of the injuries was thought to be critical, said Myrtle Beach Police Department Investigator Frank Hart.

Nobody has been arrested in the shooting, which came after a fight at The Attic nightclub. Three shooting victims ran into a beachwear store and collapsed on the floor.

County employees set to vote on holidays

GREENVILLE Whether Greenville County celebrates a holiday honoring civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. will be decided by county employees today.

The workers will vote on five holidays to celebrate in 2004 from a list of 10 potential days off. The county already has five fixed holidays, spokeswoman Melissa McNair-Davis said.

The results will be announced after 5 p.m. today, McNair-Davis said.

The vote is part of a compromise on the King holiday. Greenville and York counties are the only ones in South Carolina that do not celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
