An 82-year-old Dalzell man was killed in a single-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 378 on Thursday, officials said.

Reginald Bouyea was driving west on Hwy. 378 near U.S. Hwy. 527 about 4:45 p.m. on Jan. 25 when he reportedly lost control of his 2005 Ford SUV, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol Cpl. Sonny Collins.

The vehicle ran off the road to the left and overturned "several times," Collins said.

Bouyea, who was the only occupant in the vehicle, was wearing a seat belt.

Sumter County Coroner Robbie Baker said an autopsy was performed on Friday morning and that next of kin has been notified.
