ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – A man who caused a crash that killed a 3-month-old and injured two others was given bond Tuesday morning in Anderson County.

South Carolina Highway Patrol said a concrete truck crashed into a car, which was stopped in traffic on U.S. 29., causing that car to hit a pickup truck.
Both the driver and passenger in the car were flown to Greenville Memorial Hospital.
