1 Killed, 1 Injured in Lexington County Truck Accident
The Lexington County Coroner's Office identified the driver as Timothy Dwight Coursey, 66, of Lexington, who died after a four-vehicle collision on North Lake Drive at Pilgrim Church Road shortly after 10 a.m. on Friday, and one other person was hurt.
Timothy Dwight Coursey, 66, of Lexington, was killed and another driver was hurt in a four-vehicle truck crash on North Lake Drive at Pilgrim Church Road in Lexington County on November 6, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
How the North Lake Drive Crash Unfolded
The collision happened at about 10:20 a.m. on Friday. The Highway Patrol said a 2026 Nissan Altima, a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2024 utility truck had each been heading north on North Lake Drive. Investigators said the utility truck tried to turn left onto Pilgrim Church Road, and a southbound 2017 Kia Sorento tried to avoid the truck. Investigators said the Kia then hit the Silverado head-on, and the Silverado hit the Altima.
The Silverado's driver, its only occupant, was taken by EMS for treatment and died of their injuries. The coroner's office named that driver as Timothy Dwight Coursey, a 66-year-old from Lexington. The Kia's driver, also alone in the vehicle, was taken by EMS for treatment. The driver and passenger of the utility truck were not hurt, and neither were the two people in the Altima.
What the Highway Patrol Investigation Covers
The South Carolina Highway Patrol said the investigation into the collision is continuing. Troopers have not announced any charges. The name of the person who was hurt has not been released.
Investigators often ask nearby homes and businesses for camera video soon after a crash. Many systems record over old footage after a few days or weeks, so they move fast.
