LEE COUNTY, SC : 1 killed in I-20 crash involving a tractor-trailer near mile marker 118 on Sunday, 5th August 2018

An Alabama man was killed after rear-ending a tractor-trailer on Interstate 20 Sunday.

The crash happened just after 3 p.m. in the westbound lanes of I-20 near mile marker 118, according to Lance Cpl. David Jones of the S.C. Highway Patrol.

A westbound Freightliner truck was slowing for traffic, but a Jeep traveling behind the truck was unable to stop and crashed into the 18-wheeler, Jones said. The driver of the Jeep, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lee County Coroner Larry Logan identified the victim as 23-year-old Fernando Rafael Vizcarra-Garciadarosa, of Madison, Ala. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday morning, Logan said.
