SUMMERVILLE, SC – A 25-year-old man riding a Yamaha motorcycle lost his life when he crashed into a trash truck Monday.
South Carolina Highway Patrol told Counton2 that this collision happened around 7 a.m. near SC 61 when, for reasons unclear, the 25-year-old man, later identified as Thomas Price from Cottageville, had drifted from U.S. Highway 17 South into the northbound lanes.
While very few details are available, the driver of the garbage truck (who was unharmed) claimed that the motorcyclist caused this crash.
