South Carolina Highway Patrol reports a Greenville man died in an accident while attempting to elude police officials.

According to the coroner’s office, Austin Chandler Shirley, 28, of Greenville, died after his Jeep drove off the road and collided with a tree.

Austin Shirley’s Death From An Accident

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.

Austin Shirley Is A Greenville Man Who Dies In Crash

Austin Shirley is a Greenville man who dies in a crash after attempting to run from law enforcement in Ware Shoals. The cops are attempting to claim that he struck them, but his sister believes otherwise.

She acknowledged that it was wrong of him to escape the police. But instead of going to check on him, the police stood in the median and checked the cop’s truck first.

Then only they went screaming down to the car saying come out with your hands up while the car was in flames.

Kaytlin demands to view the dash video and hold this office accountable for what occurred. Every one of us battles demons on a daily basis, but it doesn’t mean we deserve to die the way he did.

“Nobody is flawless. I just want justice for my brother, she wrote. “I just want my brother to get justice. The cops never mentioned two persons being in the car nor did they mention their striking Shirley.

Thus, she believes that they are attempting to cover it up. She also claims that the office was not a certified PIT maneuver.
