Frank Davidson, 43 and the Lancaster Recovery Center were found civilly liable by a Marlboro County jury for the deaths of 17-year old Abigail McBryde, of Raeford, 18-year old Hannah McBryde, of Wagram, and 1-year old Dale Oxendine, of Maxton, according to several media reports. An undisclosed settlement was reached.
Just weeks before the verdict, Davidson pleaded guilty to four DUI charges stemming from the wreck. He could receive up to 90 years in prison.
The accident happened around 9:20 p.m. on Jan 21, 2007, when Davidson's 2003 Mercedes Benz collided with Abigail McBryde's 2004 Dodge Neon on U.S. 15-401 about a mile north of McColl, S.C.
Hannah McBryde and Dale Oxendine died at the scene while Hannah McBryde died later in Carolina's Medical Center in Charlotte. A 13-year old was also critically injured in the incident, receiving wounds to his spine. They were heading home from church.
Authorities said Davidson had cocaine in his system at the time of the accident.
