According to Highway Patrol, Little was in a Cadillac that failed to yield the right of way on College Park Road when they were turning which caused a Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office SUV to strike the Cadillac. Highway Patrol officials say two Berkeley County deputies in the SUV were wearing seat belts and were transported to Trident Hospital. Little of the Cadillac was also wearing a seat belt. source
