Summary
Two brothers killed in a deadly crash on James Island are set to receive a $70,000–$82,000 settlement after families blamed the city and state for ignoring a notorious “Widowmaker” tree that struck the vehicle. The crash, which claimed four lives, involved a driver later charged with felony DUI and THC impairment. While officials deny liability, the case underscores the tangled web of public safety, accountability, and grief — with appeals still pending.
