Was Austin Shirley Death From An Accident? Greenville Man Dies In Crash While Trying To Avoid Police
Austin Shirley, 28, died in a single-vehicle incident just after 10 p.m. Thursday along Highway 25 North, just within Ware Shoals’ city limits.
He was going at a fast pace on Highway 25 in Ware Shoals, according to the coroner’s office. Austin was driving north when he crossed into the southbound lane, raced off the shoulder, and hit a tree.
Shirley died at the scene, according to the coroner’s office.
A support page, “Justice For Austin” is created by his sister, Kaytlin, who believed Honea path police is responsible for their death.
Eddie Raines was involved in a car accident in Greenwood County along with Shirley. According to the page, he was being chased by honea path police, who went outside their jurisdiction and chased him at 100 mph by law.
She stated, “the cops should have backed down, but they didn’t. It was raining that night, and they hit my brother three times before he lost control and crashed into a tree, where he died from blunt force trauma.”
Eddie, their younger brother, survived the collision. But her 28-year-old brother Austin did not have that opportunity.
