A MUSC nurse was struck by a black sedan in a crosswalk at Ashley Avenue and Doughty Street outside the MUSC Horseshoe on October 23, 2025, around 12:30 PM, as captured in newly released video. Her attorney, Gedney Howe, claims the driver acted recklessly, and he’s seeking witnesses since the police report identifies few and body cameras weren’t recording key interactions.
Incident Details
The pedestrian was thrown into the air upon impact and suffered extensive injuries, leaving her in stable but painful condition with ongoing complications. Charleston Police cited the driver for failure to yield but noted they stayed at the scene and cooperated; no lawsuit has been filed yet.​
Attorney’s Call
Howe posted the video on social media, urging bystanders seen in the footage—who may have spoken to the driver—to contact his office at 843-722-8048. He highlights gaps in the initial investigation, emphasizing the need for more witness accounts.
Latest Status
As of early 2026, no major updates like lawsuits or additional charges appear in public reports, with Howe’s posts from late January actively seeking info. The victim was heading to work, and the case underscores pedestrian safety near hospitals.
