A driver died at the scene early Monday, Nov. 9, after an SUV overturned on U.S. Highway 15 in Clarendon County, according to the S.C. Highway Patrol. Two passengers in the vehicle were not hurt.
The wreck happened at 4:20 a.m. on U.S. 15, also called St. Paul Road, where it meets Gale Road.
Troopers said the vehicle, a 2011 Toyota 4Runner, was heading south when it ran off the left side of the road, came back onto the pavement, then left the road to the left a second time and overturned.
The Highway Patrol has not said what caused the vehicle to leave the roadway, and the crash remains under investigation.
The driver's name had not been released as of Monday afternoon. In South Carolina, the county coroner typically identifies people killed in traffic crashes after next of kin have been notified.
The Sentinel will update this report as more information becomes available.
