Released by the Cherokee County Coroner.
Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler says a 9 year old Gaffney child injured in a single vehicle collision last Saturday has died. Fowler identified the victim as Amelianna Pauline Claire Frederickson of 4107 Wilkinsville Highway.
“Amelianna was a rear seat restrained passenger in a 2016 Chevrolet sedan being driven south on S.C. Highway 105 by Sheila Frederickson, 59, also of 4107 Wilkinsville Highway. The vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway in a curve near the intersection of Peeler Creek Road and struck a tree head-on at 8:30 p.m. Amelianna was initially transported to Cherokee Medical Center but later flown by helicopter to Greenville Memorial’s Children’s Hospital where she died at 8:10 p.m. Wednesday,” Fowler said.
The coroner said an autopsy will be performed to assist with his investigation of the fatal collision.
