On June 11, 2025, at approximately 8:03 PM, a motorcycle crash occurred on I‑85 near New Cut Road in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. According to the Spartanburg County Coroner, the motorcyclist identified as 22‑year‑old Nathan Brian Henson attempted to slow down due to traffic but lost control, spilled into the roadway, and was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Authorities from the South Carolina Highway Patrol and the Coroner’s Office continue to investigate the crash dynamics and contributing factors
When a motorcycle crash involves a fatality, state law requires thorough investigation into possible causes:
Liability may rest with another driver, the motorcyclist, or possibly both.
Contributory negligence provisions in South Carolina can affect a claim if the deceased shares fault.
Families may have legal recourse through wrongful death suits or insurance claims.
Even without confirmed third-party fault, it’s essential for families to seek legal advice early.
To help prevent similar tragedies:
Maintain safe speeds and leave enough distance for traffic changes.
Wear protective gear—helmet, jacket, and riding boots.
Be especially cautious in congested or slowing traffic zones.
Stay visible with headlights on and proper lane positioning.
