GREENVILLE, S.C.A Clemson woman was charged Sunday in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed a man riding his moped Saturday night.
Troopers said that James Grisham's moped was hit from behind while he was riding down Highway 123 in Easley. They said Grisham was not wearing a helmet and was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Sunday, troopers arrested 26-year-old Astrid Mueller and charged her with leaving the scene of an accident involving death and driving too fast for conditions.
Grisham's daughter, Loran, told FOX Carolina that when the crash happened Grisham was driving home to have a late dinner with his family after spending the day at Fall For Greenville.
"I fixed him a place of food last night," Loran Grisham said. "I fixed his favorite, which was pork chops on the grill, and he didn't get to come home and eat with us."
Mueller was being held at the Greenville County Detention Center without bond.
