Original post: An unidentified person from Mauldin was killed and a 23-year-old Greer woman was seriously injured Saturday night when a drunk driver slammed into their car on S.C. 296, the South Carolina Highway Patrol confirmed. 

The wreck happened at roughly 7:30 p.m. Saturday on 296, some three miles north of Woodruff Road. Troopers say 27-year-old Russell Corey Fuller of Fountain Inn was driving his 2002 Lincoln Town Car when he unsuccessfully attempted to pass another vehicle, hitting a 1992 Toyota head on. 

The driver of that vehicle, 23-year-old Stephanie Lynn Brown, of Greer, was airlifted to Greenville Memorial Hospital. The passenger of that car, from Mauldin, died at the scene. 

Fuller has been charged with felony DUI resulting in death and felony DUI resulting in great bodily injury. Neither Brown nor her passenger were wearing a seatbelt.
