GREENVILLE COUNTY — An Easley man is charged with felony DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after troopers say he was involved in two accidents in a matter of minutes.
Keith Earl Wykle, 52, of 154 Long Creek Drive, was arrested after the collisions, said Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskin with the S.C. Highway Patrol.
The first collision occurred at 8:28 a.m. Wednesday as Wykle was traveling eastbound on S.C. 124 in a 1993 Ford Crown Victoria, Gaskin said.
Wykle’s car struck a 2005 moped driven by
Greenville resident Glenn Otto, Gaskin said.
Otto was thrown from the moped and injured in the collision, Gaskin said.
He was transported to Greenville Memorial Hospital, he said. Otto was not wearing a helmet.
Wykle is accused of then fleeing the scene, only to collide with another vehicle, a 1999 Subaru, driven by Greenville resident Ethel Hall, Gaskin said.
Hall and a passenger in her vehicle were taken to GMH for treatment of injuries.
Wykle was injured in the collisions and was also transported to GMH for treatment.
The Highway Patrol is still investigating the accident, Gaskin said.
