The drivers of the two other cars were also injured, including one who had to be cut from the wrecked vehicle, police said.

The crash happened when the vehicle driven by Dellinger crossed the center line of the highway and hit another car head on, said Lance Cpl. Gary Miller of the highway patrol.

The crash happened at 8: 22 a.m. near Jackson Lake Lane, east of where S.C. 557 joins with S.C. 55, east of Clover.

The two other cars were heading north on the highway. The vehicle driven by the Dellinger was heading south on S.C. 557, Miller said.

The first vehicle hit a tree. The driver was taken to Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill.

The car behind the car that swerved to avoid the crash was hit head-on by Dellinger’s vehicle, Miller said.
