A Bishopville man died late Wednesday night after being injured in a wreck on Saint Charles Road in Lee County, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. David Jones.
First responders from Lee County Emergency Medical Service and Lee County Fire and Rescue were dispatched to the scene at 8:41 p.m. and extracted Joseph Toney, 69, from his 1995 Chevrolet pickup truck. Toney was transported to McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, where he was pronounced dead at 11:46 p.m., Lee County Coroner Larry Logan said.
