One person was killed Saturday when a pickup truck ran off a Midlands road and crashed, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol .
The single-vehicle collision happened at about 4:10 p.m. in Fairfield County, said Lance Cpl. Brittany Glover.
A 1994 Ford pickup was driving east on S.C. 200, and near the intersection with Caughman Lane the truck ran off the right side of the road, according to Glover. The pickup then swerved back onto the road and continued across off of the left side, where it crashed into a tree then flipped over, Glover said.
The driver died at the scene, according to Glover.
The Fairfield County Coroner’s Office has not publicly identified the driver.
Glover said the driver was the only person in the truck, and no other injuries were reported.
There was no word if the driver was wearing a seat belt.
Information about what caused the pickup to originally veer off the road was not available, and Glover did not say if the crash continues to be investigated by the Highway Patrol.
