A 26-year-old truck driver was involved in a horrific crash on Lowcountry Highway in Smoaks, South Carolina on Thursday, April 23rd.
The loaded truck overturned after losing control and leaving the roadway. The impact of the crash caused the truck to break into two pieces and punctured the fuel tanks, spilling diesel fuel all over the road.
According to officials, the truck was traveling at “moderate speeds.” Amazingly, the driver was able to climb out of the cab and walk away on his own.
An investigation is underway by the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
