FLORENCE, S.C. — A person riding a bicycle was killed Thursday night when an SUV hit the rider from behind along North Cashua near Wall Street in Florence, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
The crash happened around 7:20 p.m. on Oct. 29. Master Trooper Mitchell Ridgeway said the bicyclist and a Kia Sorento were both headed north when the vehicle struck the bike. The rider died at the scene.
West Florence Fire Rescue crews answered the call, and about 10 minutes later they were sent to a second, unrelated wreck on North Ebenezer Road near West Sumter Street, where a car ran off the road into a ditch. Nobody was hurt in that crash.
The Highway Patrol is investigating the fatal collision. The bicyclist has not been publicly identified, and troopers have not said whether any charges are expected.
