Fatal Tractor-Trailer Wreck
People headed out and about on the morning of Tuesday, September 6th, were stalled following a deadly motor vehicle collision that occurred on the 2700 block of Highway 52 near the Scranton community in Florence County. South Carolina High Patrol noted that a tractor-trailer was traveling north on Highway 52 when a pickup truck traveling south on Highway 52 crossed the median and hit the tractor-trailer. The intensity with which the pickup truck collided with the tractor-trailer was so forceful that it caused the tractor-trailer to overturn, leaving it lying sideways on the side of the roadway.
The Florence County coroner Keith von Lutcken identified the driver of the pickup truck as Mr. Emanuel Sentel Burgess, who tragically died due to the collision. The driver of the tractor-trailer was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries.
