Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 7th of May.
Good morning, Myrtle Beach.
An early morning fiery car crash in Horry County sent one person to the hospital — crews worked to manage the scene.
Friends and family gathered May 3 under Robert Edge Parkway overpass on Old Sanders Drive to mark 12 years since Amber Berbiglia was found murdered—two Horry County Police detectives attended as her case remains under active investigation.
The Horry County School board reviewed a proposed $678 million budget that sets aside nearly $9.8 million to raise teacher pay to at least $52,000 a year—adding longevity and specialized training bonuses—while keeping taxes unchanged; a public hearing and final vote will take place on June 2. Today, the plan aims to support educators without burdening taxpayers.
Jennifer Spivey Foley delivered an impassioned plea to Horry County Council yesterday urging officials to reopen the investigation into her brother’s 2023 road rage shooting death on Camp Swamp Road — she called for a special prosecutor independent of the AG’s office and noted concerns over police conduct and new evidence uncovered in the case.
The Myrtle Beach SkyWheel will glow red on May 9 to honor nurses during National Nurses Week from May 6 to 12 (an effort led by the American Nurses Association to recognize the work of over five million registered nurses).
More than 20 South Carolina landmarks will join the display as part of a national campaign (aimed at highlighting nurse contributions).
Nathan Franks, a senior with the South Carolina men’s golf team, won the final spot at the upcoming ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic after a one-shot victory at The Q — edging out Joe Hooks and Tyler Watts on March 3 at TPC Myrtle Beach.
He said his win was a dream come true and ABC 15 will cover the tournament on Thursday.
More than 20 HGTC students volunteered early this week at Dunes Club to prep the course for practice rounds ahead of ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, starting work as early as 3:30 a.m. + taking shifts through morning and evening.
They team with course staff + agronomy experts to maintain the greens, bunkers and fairways for the PGA Tour event set for May 8.
