A Great Falls man died Monday morning in a one-vehicle wreck on S.C. 9 near Grace Avenue west of Lancaster.
The victim was David Wayne Roberts, 63, according to the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to Lance Cpl. Gary Miller of the S.C. Highway Patrol, Roberts was alone driving west on S.C. 9 shortly before 7:15 a.m. His 2003 Chevy Trailblazer left the right side of the road and hit a guardrail before swerving to the left down an embankment in the median and smashing into a tree.
Roberts was not wearing a seatbelt and was trapped inside the vehicle, Miller said.
Riverside and Gooches volunteer fire departments, along with the Lancaster Fire Department and members of Lancaster County Fire Rescue, worked to remove Roberts from the vehicle and control traffic while the Highway Patrol investigated.
The incident is still under investigation, Miller said.
