‘She was loved’: Memorial grows for teen killed in hit-and-run
WARRENVILLE, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A memorial has grown for a Warrenville teen killed in a hit-and-run on Friday.
The accident happened on Augusta Road around 6:20 in the evening, when authorities say 14-year-old Faith Williams was a passenger on a dirt bike riding on the sidewalk.
Authorities say the dirt bike hit a mailbox and spilled into the roadway. At the same time, a vehicle traveling south hit something in the roadway and then drove off.
It’s not clear what it hit, but Faith was declared dead that evening.
Now we’ve learned that the driver, Terry Sizemore, turned himself in Monday morning.
Sizemore is in the Aiken County jail on a charge of hit-and-run involving a death, according to jail records.
Family members told us they were at the bond hearing Monday afternoon for Sizemore. His bond was set at $25,000.
Multiple family members have come to the scene, and since then, everyone has been asking this question: Why didn’t the car stop?

“She’ll be missed,” said Michael Irvin, Faith’s father. “She was well loved by many.”
Her death has left family, friends and the community heartbroken.
“Faith was a very beautiful person, had a very big heart, and she loved to make people happy,” said Irvin. “She loved to make herself look beautiful because she was.”
How CSRA has been affected by fire outbreak in recent days
While the CSRA hasn’t been as badly affected as much of South Carolina by an outbreak of wildfires in recent days, we’ve seen our share.
Now, a cross is painted on the road and a memorial is there in Faith’s honor with flowers, a teddy bear and a wooden sign from her room – put there by her mom where it all happened on Augusta Road.
“She was an all-around great kid and would do things for others and not expect much in return,” said Irvin.
After so many questions about what happened Friday night, an arrest doesn’t make the loss any easier
“She was loved. She was a loving person,” said Irvin. “Just a great kid in a bad situation. Wrong place, wrong time.”
We saw camera footage of the incident. We’ve decided not to show it, but you hear the driver of the dirt bike and his emotional response.
However, Faith’s dad says he doesn’t blame the driver of the dirt bike and that he and her family already miss her so much.
