Apparently the southbound car, left Cottageville Highway at a high rate of speed, drove down the deep shoulder striking the McDanieltown Road embankment. According to a witness, the car flipped over several times ejecting the man onto McDanieltown Road. The car came to rest upright, facing north and rolled back down the embankment into several trees. The car suffered heavy damage. A female occupant was also injured, but she remained in the car. Medic 19 was requested to handle the second patient. Due to his severe traumatic injuries, a medical helicopter was requested for the male patient. However, no helicopters could fly due to poor weather.

The SC Highway Patrol is investigating the accident.
