A man run over after a South Carolina road-rage incident was left with serious injuries, officials say.

On Sunday night, a driver called 911 to report hitting someone with a car outside an Exxon station, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The man, who was in “serious condition,” was transported from the gas station parking lot to a hospital, according to officials.

Deputies said it happened roughly 14 miles northeast of downtown Greenville after a road-rage incident on North Highway 101.

John Alexander lives in the area and said he heard firetrucks the night the man was hit by a car, WHNS reported.

“God help him,” Alexander told the TV station. “I mean, people need to consider the other person around here and quit driving like a maniac.”

As of Tuesday morning, the incident was still under investigation, and no arrests had been made, WYFF reported.
