Woman killed, three children hurt in York County car crash, officials said

A York woman was killed and three children were hurt Sunday in a York County crash, officials said.

Rebekah Winn, 29, the driver of the car, died at the scene of the wreck on Brattonsville Road, said York County Coroner Sabrina Gast.

The ages and identities of the three children injured in the wreck have not been released.

The single-car crash happened after 2 a.m. Sunday on Brattonsville Road near McConnells, said Master Trooper Gary Miller of the S.C. Highway Patrol.

The area is south of York and Rock Hill.

Winn was driving south on Brattonsville Road when the 2006 Honda went off the road and struck a tree, Miller said.

One of the children was airlifted to Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte. The other two children who were hurt were taken to the Charlotte hospital by EMS, Miller said.

The crash remains under investigation by the S.C. Department of Public Safety and the coroner’s office.
