An 29-year-old Aiken man died Friday morning in a single-vehicle wreck on Wire Road, authorities said.
At approximately 7:15 a.m., emergency personnel responded to the scene in the 3000 block of Wire Road near Uncle Duck Road, where they found a 1994 Acura sedan that had overturned after leaving the roadway. According to investigators, the vehicle had been traveling northbound when it veered off the road and rolled over, ejecting the driver in the process.
The driver, identified as Ke’Lonte Stanley, was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:45 a.m. due to injuries sustained in the crash, said Chief Deputy Coroner Eric J. Ramey. The wreck comes just a week after the victim posted a shoutout to the man who sold him his car. “You sold me a solid car,” Stanley wrote on Facebook. “I get love everywhere in the Legend.”
The S.C. Highway Patrol is assisting the Aiken County Coroner’s Office with the ongoing investigation. A toxicology report is pending, and no additional details have been released at this time.
