MANNING – A 73-year-old Pinewood man was killed Thursday afternoon in a single-vehicle wreck at Alex Harvin Highway and Rev. J.W. Carter Road, south of Manning, according to Clarendon County Coroner Bucky Mock.

The Clarendon County Fire Department responded to the scene along with Clarendon County EMS.

Steven Spann, the lone occupant of the vehicle, was transported to McLeod Clarendon by ambulance where he died at 2:02 p.m., Mock said.

“The accident happened at 12:40 p.m.,” Mock added. “Mr. Spann was ejected from the vehicle and died at the hospital from chest trauma less than two hours later.”

Lance Cpl. David Jones with the South Carolina Highway Patrol said Spann was driving a 2001 Ford Explorer SUV south on U.S. 301 near Rev. J.W. Carter Road when he drove off the right side of the road, overcorrected and went off the left side of the road, overturning several times.

The accident is under investigation by the South Carolina Highway Patrol, Jones added.
