One person is dead and five more were injured following a crash in Aiken County on Friday morning, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
Isaiah Johnson, a 33-year-old Aiken resident, died at the scene of the accident, Aiken County Coroner Darryl Ables said.
Just before 10:30 a.m., a 2010 Honda Civic was driving east on Hitchcock Parkway near Northwood Drive in the city of Aiken, Lance Cpl. Brittany Glover said. The Honda Civic collided with a 2016 Dodge Ram driving west and a 2023 GMC Yukon driving east.
