A Greenwood woman died Tuesday morning from injuries sustained after her own car rolled onto her Monday night.
Greenwood County coroner Jim Coursey said Tonie Martin Lewis, 28, of 212 Karlie Court, Greenwood, died about 8:30 Tuesday morning at Greenville Memorial Medical Center. Coursey said the cause of death was trauma received in Monday's accident.
Lewis was a native of Abbeville County and graduated from Dixie High School in 1996. She attended Erskine College and Lander University and graduated from Piedmont Tech's College of Nursing. She was employed in the critical care center at Self Regional Healthcare.
Her family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Harris Funeral Home in Abbeville.
Funeral services will be 3 p.m. Friday in the funeral home chapel. Burial will follow in Forest Lawn Memory Gardens.
Coursey said Lewis pulled into her driveway Monday night and went to the mailbox to check her mail. He said the car was in neutral and rolled back and struck Martin, pinning her underneath. According to Greenwood Police Department incident reports, a neighbor heard Martin yelling for help about 8:30 Monday evening. The neighbor said she went up Karlie Court and found Lewis trapped under the car. The neighbor reportedly said Lewis asked her to call Lewis' husband, Trey. The neighbor said she called him after she called the police.
Police officer Jeff Crisp responded to the incident and found Lewis pinned behind the front driver's side tire of a black 2006 Nissan 350Z. He said Lewis was conscious and asked him to call her husband and let him know what happened.
Crisp noted the vehicle's gear shift was in neutral. He also saw mail, newspapers and a purse strewn about the ground.
EMS and Greenwood Fire Department responded to the scene. Upon the request of EMS, police officers and firefighters physically lifted the car off Lewis so emergency workers could extract her.
Firefighters present were Lt. Steve Belk, Cmdr. Steve Holmes, Rodney Jones, Al Tumblin and Tanner Hall. Police officers on the scene were Capt. Michael Martin, Lt. David Gurley and Crisp.
EMS took Lewis to the old Lowe's building parking lot on the Highway. 72 Bypass, where she was airlifted to Greenville Memorial Medical Center by helicopter.
