Four people were taken to a Richland County hospital, and one of them died, following a crash Saturday night, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

The three-vehicle collision happened at about 6:25 p.m. near the Columbia area, said Lance Cpl. Nick Pye.

The wreck happened at the intersection of Two Notch Road and O’Neil Court, according to Pye. That’s in the area between Columbia Place Mall and Exit 74 on Interstate 20.
