Three people killed in crash on interstate in South Carolina, cops say
Three people were killed early Sunday morning in a crash on Interstate 85, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol. The three-vehicle collision happened at about 12:15 a.m. in Spartanburg County, said Master Trooper William Bennett. A 2015 Honda sedan was driving south in the northbound lanes of I-85, according to Bennett. At the 75 mile marker the Honda collided head-on with a 2019 Toyota sedan that was driving north on I-85, Bennett said. After that collision, the Honda then crashed into a 2024 Ford Expedition that was also heading north on the interstate, according to Bennett. The driver, who was the only person in the Honda, as well as both the driver and a passenger in the Toyota died at the scene, Bennett said. The Spartanburg County Coroner's Office has not publicly identified any of the victims. In addition to the Ford driver, there were five passengers in the SUV, but none of those occupants were hurt, according to Bennett. No other injuries were reported. There was no word if anyone involved in the crash was wearing a seat belt. Information about how the Honda came to be driving toward oncoming traffic on I-85 was not available, but the wreck continues to be investigated by the Highway Patrol. Through June 1, at least 316 people had died on South Carolina roads in 2025, according to the state Department of Public Safety. Last year, at least 948 people died in crashes in South Carolina, DPS reported. At least 38 people have died in Spartanburg County crashes in 2025, according to DPS data. There were 60 deaths in the county in 2024, DPS reported. That includes a fatal crash on Saturday afternoon. At about 1:50 p.m., both a 2007 Dodge Ram and a 2008 Yamaha motorcycle were driving north on S.C. 11, Bennett said. When the pickup truck turned left onto Cannon Ford Road it was hit on the driver's side by the motorcycle, according to Bennett. The motorcycle driver, who died at the scene, has not been publicly identified by the coroner's office. Bennett said the pickup driver, who was the only person in the truck, was not hurt, and no other injuries were reported. This crash also continues to be investigated by the Highway Patrol.

What's The Most Popular Lawn Mower Brand In The USA?
Automated tech has rapidly revolutionized how we do household chores in recent years, with lawn-mowing being no exception. We've moved far beyond the traditional push and riding mowers that carried us for decades. Now, features like AI and battery power make mowing a time-saving, eco-friendly, and often hands-free project. Adding to the excitement, young players are bringing inspired innovation to a centuries-old task. The landscape is aptly changing in an industry that helps us change our landscapes, but does that mean the old guards are making way for the new? Or, are time-honored brands adapting to shifting needs and expectations? By more than one measure, it seems those reliable names we've leaned on for decades remain leaders among lawn mower brands in the U.S. Deere & Co., the No. 1 lawn and garden manufacturer in America, is the nation's top choice for reliability among lawn mower brands, according to a 2025 Life Story Research survey. It's the sixth straight year the brand topped the list. Following John Deere are other familiar tried-and-true names, including Honda, Toro, and the value-priced Craftsman. Husqvarna, another well-established lawn care brand, also features prominently. The company made the survey's top four in 2024. With so many lawn mower styles available, each brand has found its niche. The average consumer, therefore, may find the most popular or go-to brand changes based on the style they want, whether it's a classic push mower or a more advanced zero-turn riding mower. Read more: Milwaukee Products You Shouldn't Pass On Even If You're Not In The Market For Tools Just as "nothing runs like a Deere," nothing sells like a Deere either, and for good reason. Alongside its long-standing reputation for quality, the brand has situated itself directly on the line between commercial and residential use. A professional pedigree bolsters its residential brand, elevating it in the eyes of homeowners. Emphasizing the point, John Deere exited the push mower market in 2012. Its focus turned to the riding mower market, arguably the dominant mower segment and the bridge between the homeowner and lawn care expert. John Deere is also one of the top three American manufacturers, with over 1,000 employees working out of its Horicon, Wisconsin location. Homeowners agree that John Deere, maker of some of the highest-reviewed riding lawn mowers under $3,000, is one of the most reliable lawn care brands. According to a 2025 GreenPals survey, 9.7% of voters identified the Z300 as their favorite mower. The Scag Liberty Z was the only alternative to match it, sharing the top spot among zero-turn options. Polaris Market Research, meanwhile, noted John Deere was the top brand driving lawn mower growth. The report cited the Deere brand's durability, performance, and overall customer satisfaction as key factors in its popularity. Though thriving on tradition, John Deere is nevertheless geared toward the future. With the rapid rise in popularity of battery-powered alternatives, the company released its first all-electric model in the residential zero-turn Z370R. Push mowers are still wildly popular due to low initial cost and practicality for smaller yards. In this category, a mix of age-old brands and up-and-comers are making their mark. Names like Green Machine, Ego, and Ryobi offer some of the best battery-powered lawn mowers. Still, gas remains the most popular power option, owning roughly 40% of the market. Companies such as Stanley Black & Decker, owner of Craftsman, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt, enjoy the success of multiple brands that have made them leaders in a tight market. Meanwhile, Toro lawn mowers make the cut needing only their four-letter brand to lead in sales and popular opinion. Founded in 1914, Toro proudly proclaims itself as "America's #1 Walk Mower Brand." Its Bloomington, Minnesota facility is one of the five largest manufacturing operations in the nation. Sales in 2024 put it second behind Deere & Co. and well ahead of third-place Husqvarna, according to IBISWorld. Polaris Market Research lists the brand as the fourth most influential growth driver in the market. As they explain, Toro's recent investment in zero-turn and robotic products have set them up for future success as a brand centered on versatility and user-friendliness. Indeed, the company invested in a state-of-the-art camera-based navigation system for its robotic mowers in 2022. Staying true to tradition, though, Toro is a standard-setter in gas push mowers, particularly in its highly-rated Recycler models. TechGearLab ranked the Toro SmartStow Recycler as the best overall among tested mowers. For their part, real-world customers shared that sentiment as 9.7% voted for the Toro self-propelled mower as their favorite in the GreenPal survey, the most for any product. Enjoyed this article?
