One person killed in multi-vehicle crash on South Carolina road, Highway Patrol says
One person was killed Sunday in a crash that involved a motorcycle and an SUV, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
The collision happened at about 11:20 a.m. in Pickens County, said Master Trooper Brandon Bolt. That’s not far from the North Carolina-South Carolina state line.
Both a 2021 Ford SUV and a 2016 KTM motorcycle were driving north on S.C. 11, according to Bolt. The SUV slowed and was turning left into a private driveway when it collided with the motorcycle that was attempting to pass, Bolt said.
The motorcycle rider died, according to Bolt.
The Pickens County Coroner’s Office has not publicly identified the motorcycle rider.
Bolt said the SUV driver, who was the only person in that vehicle, was not hurt, and no other injuries were reported.
There was no word if the driver was wearing a seat belt, or if the motorcycle rider was wearing a helmet.
The crash continues to be investigated by the Highway Patrol.
Through Sunday, 447 people had died on South Carolina roads in 2024, according to the state Department of Public Safety. Last year, 1,030 people died in crashes in South Carolina, DPS reported.
At least nine people have died in Pickens County crashes in 2024, according to DPS data.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — Advocates, caregivers, patients, and community leaders gathered at the South Carolina State House on Friday for the inaugural South Carolina Sickle Cell Day.
Organizers said the event focused on raising awareness of sickle cell disease.
The South Carolina CBO Collective Caucus hosted the event at 10 a.m., coinciding with World Sickle Cell Day and Juneteenth.
Organizers said the gathering brought together healthcare professionals, legislators, advocates, and supporters from across the state to discuss education, support, and action related to sickle cell disease.
The program is designed to amplify the voices of individuals and families impacted by the disease and encourage conversations about healthcare access, advocacy, research, and community support, organizers said.
Attendees heard personal stories and learned about challenges faced by those living with sickle cell disease.
“World Sickle Cell Day is a powerful call to action for all of us,” said founder and CEO of The B Strong Group Brenda Green. She said the collaboration expands support, strengthens community response, and stands with affected families.
The B Strong Group, founded in 2017 and based in Columbia, is a nonprofit organization focused on sickle cell awareness, advocacy, and caregiver support.
The group organizes blood drives, caregiver workshops, and awareness campaigns under the motto “Educate, Advocate, Empower.”
An 87-year-old businessman in Columbia, South Carolina says he has no plans to retire.
Leonard Fabrizio works as a retailer at Brittons of Columbia, a locally-owned men’s clothing store.
“I’m not the type of person who can sit around by myself,” said Fabrizio. “I just enjoy the interaction and that’s the big thing, is the interaction with people. It’s always been the drive in this business for me, said Fabrizio.
Fabrizio’s retail career began as a college student when he worked at J.C. Penney. He has watched Columbia grow and has owned a store and managed several others.
His advice is to “Be patient. It takes time to build a business. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s rewarding. It’s fun. But you have to have compassion for the business.”
Fabrizio recently celebrated another birthday alongside those who have supported his career.
