BEECH ISLAND, S.C.---There have been three fatal accidents in just two days in Aiken County. The latest was a hit and run. It happened just after midnight on Urquhart Drive in Beech Island. A man riding a bike was hit by a vehicle and killed.

He has now been identified as Noel Barrett, 43, of Beech Island. He was wearing dark clothes and had no light on the bike.

Also, the South Carolina Highway Patrol has told News 12 it's searching
for a dark green car with metallic paint and gold pinstriipes. Troopers aren't sure of the make or model, but the car will probably have some damage to its right side.
