BURNETTOWN, S.C. — Authorities say an 82-year-old man driving to Aiken County for his brother’s funeral has been killed trying to make a U-turn on a busy highway.
Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton said in a news release that Ryan Still of Walterboro missed the exit on U.S. Highway 78 for the funeral home Friday morning.
Carlton says Still was trying to make a U-turn when he drove his Lincoln Town Car in front of an oncoming vehicle.
Authorities say Still’s grandchild and a friend were with him in the car and were taken to the hospital along with the driver of the other car.
The driver of the vehicle, Kevin Overton, sustained nonlife-threatening injuries, according to WRDW.
