Driver in fatal car accident arrested

The Oconee man who was identified as the driver in a fatal accident last weekend has been arrested by the highway patrol. Today’s booking report from the Oconee Detention Center lists charges of driving under suspension and felony driving under the influence resulting in death against Jason Scott Holbrooks, 39-year old resident of Chesswood Drive, Seneca. He was arrested yesterday—two days after the rollover accident of an SUV. Authorities said 47-year old Crystal Gail Holbrooks lost her life in the accident and an injured Mr. Holbrooks was flown to a Greenville hospital. The highway patrol reported the accident occurred around 7 Saturday night on US 76 near the Cobb Bridge Road when the 2001 Ford Explorer, driven by Mr. Holbrooks, went off the right side of the two-lane highway, over-corrected, and overturned. Both occupants were ejected from the vehicle.
