The Lancaster County Coroner has identified the victim of a two-car wreck early Friday morning as Randolph Edward “Eddie” Lee, 56, of Great Falls, according to Jennifer Collins of the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office.
Lee died at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte after the head-on collision on S.C. 200, two miles south of Lancaster, said South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller. The wreck happened at about 2 a.m., he said.
