Tragic Accident Claims Life of Local Man on Johns Island
It’s a somber day for the community of Charleston, as tragic news emerges about a devastating single-vehicle crash that took place early on the morning of April 7, 2025. Thirty-one-year-old Anthony Henley has been identified as the victim in this heart-wrenching incident that occurred just before dawn.
The Incident
According to the latest reports, the accident happened around 3 a.m. near the intersection of River Road and Flossy Lane. The initial investigation by local authorities shows that Anthony was driving north on River Road when things took a tragic turn. In an unfortunate twist, the vehicle veered off the right side of the road as the driver navigated a curve at Flossy Lane. This led to a critical overcorrection, causing the car to run off the left side of the road and subsequently collide with a tree.
Responding deputies arrived shortly before the time of the crash and unfortunately found that Henley sustained fatal injuries, which led to his death at the scene. The Charleston County Coroner, Bobbi Jo O’Neal, has confirmed the heartbreaking news.
Investigation Ongoing
The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office is currently diving deep into the details surrounding this tragic crash. While the investigation is still in its early stages, early indications suggest that Henley was alone in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Further reports also revealed that he was not wearing a seatbelt, a factor that may have contributed to the severity of the incident.
A Community in Mourning
This tragic accident has left many in the Charleston community shaken. Friends, family, and neighbors are grappling with this unexpected loss, trying to comprehend how a life so young and full of promise can change in an instant. Social media has seen an outpouring of grief as people share fond memories of Henley and express their condolences to his loved ones.
Road safety is always a vital topic of discussion, and this accident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of taking precautions while driving. The absence of a seatbelt in this case could be a pivotal lesson for many. Every year, countless lives are affected by car accidents, and wearing a seatbelt is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to ensure safety on the road.
Support and Resources
As the sheriff’s office continues its investigation, the community may also wish to come together in support of those affected by this tragedy. Local resources and support groups can offer assistance to those who are struggling with grief or trauma due to this incident.
