A tragic hit-and-run on Highway 544 claimed the life of 21-year-old Coastal Carolina student Kalina Trent, sparking a community outpouring as over 300 mourners honored her at Grand Strand Medical Center — where she also donated her organs. Her death, one of two in the crash, led to the arrest of 17-year-old Mauricio Palafox-Correa on felony DUI and hit-and-run charges. In response, Coastal Carolina is partnering with authorities to enhance safety along the road with new lighting, increased patrols, and an accelerated pedestrian overpass — a collective effort to honor Kalina’s memory and prevent future tragedies.
