1 dead in one-vehicle crash near Fort Mill, police say

One person has died following a one-vehicle crash late Saturday, said S.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Hovis.

The wreck happened at 10:42 p.m. on Interstate 77 heading north at mile marker 86 near Fort Mill, Hovis said.

That site is between the I-77 interchanges with S.C. 160 and S.C. 460.

The tractor-trailer went off the right side of the road, struck a guard rail and hit several trees, Hovis said.

The driver was wearing a seat belt and became trapped in the vehicle, Hovis said, and died at the scene.

The York County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the driver’s identity.
