Robert Michael Dessaint, 18, of 404 Faulkner St. in Clover died from head injuries suffered during the crash, said Deputy York County Coroner Ev Amick.

Dessaint was traveling north on Beersheba Road four miles west of York around 2 a.m. when his 2003 Mitsubishi convertible crossed the center line and swerved off the left side of the road, said Sgt. Jeff Gaskins of the S.C. Highway Patrol.

The car struck a tree, and Dessaint was ejected from the vehicle, Gaskins said. He was alone in the car.

Gaskins said the driver was not wearing a seat belt, and speed is believed to be a factor in the crash. He said alcohol tests are pending. Other details of the wreck are still under investigation.
