South Carolina Woman Dies After Beach Umbrella Accident
MYRTLE BEACH, SC - JULY 04: A life guard sets up a beach umbrella the morning of July 4, 2020 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Vacationers traveled to the SC beach despite growing concerns about the the spread of the Coronavirus.
Very sad news out of South Carolina as a woman has died after being struck by a beach umbrella. The incident happened in Garden City Wednesday afternoon. The woman, Tammy Perault was taken to the hospital and died from her injuries a short time later. ABC15 News reports that the umbrella was picked up by the wind which caused it to hit Perault. It seems that she was a local in the Garden City community as a heartfelt Facebook message was posted by a local beach bar in her memory.
I’ve never liked beach umbrellas and thought they were more of a hassle than their worth. But I never thought they could accidentally be deadly. RIP to this woman and keep her family and friends in your prayers as they suffer through this unexpected loss.
