A nurse named September Paul was seriously injured on October 23, 2025, when struck by a small black sedan while in a crosswalk at Ashley Avenue and Doughty Street in Charleston, S.C. Her attorney, Gedney Howe IV, shared video of the incident showing her being thrown into the air, and he’s seeking additional witnesses since the police report lists only one despite others appearing in footage.
Victim’s Injuries
Paul, who works at MUSC, required ICU care and continues facing severe effects months later, possibly including a head injury, while caring for her three children and uncertain about returning to work. No drugs or alcohol were suspected; the driver stayed at the scene and received a citation for failing to yield.
Witness Call
Howe’s firm urges anyone with information to call (843) 722-8048 to help clarify details and involvement. No lawsuit has been filed yet.
Pedestrian Concerns
Local residents like Lauren Redmon and Gayle Wadford, who use the crosswalk daily, report frequent risks, such as the second lane not stopping even if the first does, sometimes with drivers accelerating. This highlights broader safety issues at the intersection.
