Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
A 21-year-old North Myrtle Beach man died at the scene of a car crash late Thursday night after he was thrown from his vehicle, authorities said.
Hunter Mckenzie was pronounced dead at the scene from internal trauma he suffered during the crash, according to Robert Edge, Horry County Coroner.
North Myrtle Beach police responded to the crash just before midnight at 4729 Little River Neck Rd. and found EMS workers already on the scene, according to Pat Dowling, North Myrtle Beach spokesman.
Police determined Mckenzie entered a turn at about 70 mph, went off the road, over corrected and began sliding sideways across the road, then struck a plastic fence before hitting a tree with the back of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to do a 360-degree spin, authorities said.
Mckenzie was thrown from the vehicle, and the vehicle came to a rest in front of a residential front yard, according to a report.
