There is no tower at Berkley County.

That's speculation not supported by facts. Berkley County is 17 NM north of Charleston Airport, so the collision took place outside of Charleston's Class C airspace. It was almost certainly within Class E airspace. I haven't sen anything which suggests that either aircraft wasn't entitled to be where it was.
