Edward Dewayne Capps, 47, faces charges of death by motor vehicle and a stop sign violation in the crash which occurred shortly before 9 a.m. at the intersection of highways 48 and 561 in the Brinkleyville area.

According to an initial report by Trooper T.D. Forsht III of the state Highway Patrol, Lisa Boyd Solomon, 47, was traveling south on Highway 48 and Capps, who was driving a rollback, was traveling east on Highway 561when he failed to stop for a stop sign.

Capps collided with Solomon in the southbound lane of Highway 48. Both vehicles traveled off the left side of Highway 48 and collided with a ditch before coming to an uncontrolled rest on the side of the highway. The cargo on the vehicle Capps was driving detached from the rollback.

Makale Boyd, the 5-year-old boy, died in the collision. He was seated in the front right passenger seat and the trooper's report indicates he was not restrained either through a seat belt or child restraint system.

Four-year-old Makaylah Boyd, also a passenger in the vehicle Solomon was driving, sustained serious injuries in the crash as did Solomon.

It was not clear where Makaylah was seated in the vehicle and not clear whether she was restrained. It was also not clear whether Solomon was restrained.

Capps did not sustain serious injuries.
