One person was killed Saturday when a pickup truck ran off a road in the Midlands and crashed, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

The single-vehicle crash happened around 4:10 p.m. in Fairfield County, said Lance Cpl. Brittany Glover.

A 1994 Ford pickup was traveling east on SC 200, and near the intersection with Caughman Lane, the truck ran off the right side of the road, according to Glover. The pickup then veered back onto the road and continued on the left side, where it struck a tree and then overturned, Glover said.

According to Glover, the driver died at the scene.

The Fairfield County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the driver’s identity.

Glover said the driver was the only person in the truck and no other injuries were reported.

It is not known whether the driver was wearing a seat belt.

Information about what originally caused the pickup to leave the road was not available, and Glover did not say whether the crash remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol.

Through June 23, at least 447 people had died on South Carolina’s roads in 2024, according to the state’s Department of Public Safety. Last year, 1,030 people died in accidents in South Carolina, DPS reported.
