FLORENCE COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — A dump truck driver died after crashing into a tree Wednesday morning in Florence County, the South Carolina Highway Patrol said.
The single-vehicle crash happened just before 9:30 a.m. on Hyman Road, according to Master Trooper Brandon Bolt. It happened about three miles west of Pamplico.
A 2020 Freightliner dump truck was traveling east on Hyman Road when it drove off the right side of the road, then the left side of the road before overcorrecting back to the right and hitting a tree, Bolt said. The driver was the only person in the truck.
