The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating two separate crashes that occurred in Orangeburg County over the weekend, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. The first accident took place just before midnight on Saturday, when a 2023 Freightliner truck traveling south on U.S. 389 collided with an ATV also traveling south on U.S. 389, approximately two miles south of Nesmith. The driver of the ATV was taken to the Medical University of South Carolina hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries.
The second crash occurred less than three hours later at 2:45 a.m. on Sunday, on South Carolina Highway 47 near Farmer’s Road, about a mile south of Elloree. A Toyota Camry carrying five people went off the right side of the road, hit a culvert, pipe, and flipped over. One person died at the scene, and the other four passengers were injured and transported to the hospital for treatment. The condition of the other passengers is currently unknown. The SCHP Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team is investigating the accident.
Details on the victims' identities are limited at this time.
