Traffic accident case heads to the jury room

Indications at court this morning are that a civil case arising from a traffic accident near Seneca will reach the jury room today at the Oconee Courthouse.  The trial of Timothy Alan Murphy vs. Tammy Marie Savel is taking place in the Common Pleas Court.  Plaintiff Murphy seeks damages for injuries sustained in 2019 on the Old Clemson Highway when hit by a car while he was directing traffic as a volunteer fire fighter.  He alleges the car driver, Savel, was negligent, among other grounds, for failing to keep her car under proper control.
