One Fatality After Car Collides with Ditch and Overturns in Eutawville

Eutawville, SC – A fatal incident took place in Eutawville this Saturday evening. A vehicle hit a ditch before overturning, leading to the death of the driver, the sole occupant of the car. South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating the unfortunate occurrence.

Details of the Collision

Master Trooper Mitchell Ridgeway informed that the incident transpired around 8:40 PM on Saturday night. The vehicle, identified as a 2008 Toyota pickup truck, was moving north on South Carolina Highway 453. It veered off the road near Eutaw Road, struck a ditch, and subsequently overturned.

Ridgeway added that the driver, who was alone in the vehicle, died at the crash scene. The details about the deceased are yet to be released by the Orangeburg County Coroner’s Office.

Previous Incidents in the Region

The recent tragic event is not unique in the area. In recent weeks, there have been multiple similar occurrences in Orangeburg County. This includes an instance where a motorcyclist went over the railing of the James Island Connector, fortunately escaping any harm. Another incident involved a woman with a disability who reportedly hit a man with his truck after moving away.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol and local law enforcement agencies are urging drivers to take extra care while on the roads, in light of these events. This includes adhering to speed limits, always wearing seat belts, and abstaining from distractions while driving.

The Investigation Proceeds

Currently, the South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating the circumstances leading to the collision. They are working to establish if weather conditions, vehicle malfunctions, or any external factors played a part in the incident.

Further announcements regarding the investigation, including the identity of the deceased, are expected to follow in the coming days from the Orangeburg County Coroner’s Office.

Remembering the Public Safety Measures

While the investigation carries on, this accident serves as a tragic reminder to the public about the importance of observing traffic rules and employing caution while travelling. Care must be taken to avoid distractions, such as mobile devices while driving.
