On the scene, officers found an open container of wine along with a cup in the cupholder containing a liquid consistent with the contents of the wine bottle.
North Myrtle Beach authorities are looking into a possible felony DUI after a fatal crash occurred on Sunday night.
A black Lexus swerved into oncoming traffic on Robert Edge Parkway and hit a white Nissan head-on.
The crash resulted in the death of a 41-year-old man who occupied the Nissan along with a woman and three children who were all transported to a hospital.
The driver of the Lexus, Nancy Bishop was also taken to a hospital.
While conducting inventory of Bishop’s vehicle for a tow, officers found an open container of wine along with a cup in the cupholder containing a liquid consistent with the contents of the wine bottle.
Police then obtained a search warrant for a blood draw of Bishop for a felony DUI investigation. Officials have probable cause to charge her, but she is still in the hospital as of today.
