Man arrested in suspected DUI-involved crash that hurt 2 children in Rock Hill, authorities say

ROCK HILL, S.C. — A man from Rock Hill is facing felony charges after police say he caused a crash that left two children hurt last Friday.

Officers with the Rock Hill Police Department responded to the crash on Ogden Road and found the suspect on the ground holding a toddler. The toddler was unresponsive at the time and was being treated by medical services; police said the child wasn’t restrained in a safety seat, and neither of them wore seat belts.

A woman who was driving the other car in the crash had a “visible head injury,” and officers found a 10-year-old child trapped in the car with a head injury.

Police said the suspect, identified as Adrian Latwan Boyd, had slurred speech and smelled like alcohol. Boyd admitted to having a beer, police reported.

Investigators found that Boyd was going south on Ogden Road when he crossed the double-yellow line into the opposing lane. Boyd’s SUV then drifted off the pavement before coming back and hitting the woman’s car as she was going north on Ogden Road.
