At about 7:45 p.m., a 2005 GMC pickup was driving south on Childress Road, according to Ridgeway. Near the intersection with Old Dacusville Road, the pickup ran off the right side of the road and hit a culvert and a mailbox before veering back across the road and off the left side, where it crashed into two trees, Ridgeway said.

The driver, from Liberty, died at the scene, according to Ridgeway.

The Pickens County Coroner’s Office has not publicly identified the driver.

No other injuries were reported.

There was no word if the driver was wearing a seat belt.
