The single-vehicle crash occurred around 11 p.m. in McCormick County, Master Trooper Brandon Bolt said Wednesday. That’s near the Savannah River and the state line between South Carolina and Georgia.

A 1997 Ford pickup truck was traveling south on Resort Drive when it went off the right side of the road and down an embankment, Bolt said. The pickup truck then struck a tree and the driver died, Bolt said.

The identity of the driver has not been publicly released by the McCormick County Coroner’s Office.
