  HIST	of Sumter, South Carolina Sheriff asks for prayers after death of deputy's wife Posted Thursday, December 10, 2015 6:00 am BY ADRIENNE SARVIS ADRIENNE@THEITEM.COM Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis asks members of the community to keep a local family in their thoughts and prayers after the death of a deputy's wife during a collision that occurred at 8:55 a.m. Wednesday on Lewis Road. Theresa Browder, wife of Sumter County Deputy Wayne Browder, died during the wreck. "Today was a tragic day for one of our officers, as well as our entire agency, as one of our family members deals with the loss of a loved one," Dennis said. "We ask you keep the Browder family in your thoughts and prayers as they attempt to cope with this horrible tragedy." Lance Cpl. David Jones with South Carolina Highway Patrol said the incident involved three vehicles: a Saturn SUV driven by a 26-year-old Sumter County man, a four-door Acura driven by an 18-year-old Sumter County woman and the Infiniti SUV driven by the 45-year-old Browder. Jones said the other drivers were both traveling north on Lewis Road while Browder was traveling south. The Saturn SUV crossed the center line and struck Browder's SUV head-on. As a result of the collision, the Saturn SUV then struck the Acura, Jones said. The other drivers were wearing seatbelts and were transported to an area hospital with unspecified injuries. Sumter County Coroner Harvin Bullock said Browder was pronounced dead at the scene. He said Browder, who was also wearing a seatbelt when the collision occurred, suffered multiple blunt force trauma and died on impact. Clarendon County Sheriff's Office released a statement Wednesday evening sending words of condolences to the Browder family. "Sheriff R.L. Garrett Jr. and all of Clarendon County Sheriff's Office staff mourns the loss of Theresa Browder," states the sheriff's office Facebook post. "Theresa was a nurse at Clarendon Memorial Hospital. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Wayne Browder, who is a deputy with Sumter County Sheriff's Office. Please join us in prayer to lift this family up during their time of loss and sorrow." Jones said highway patrol continues to investigate the collision.
