A witness from a local convince store, upon hearing the crash, ran to the truckers’ aid. The bystander was able to pull one of the drivers from the wreckage.

A man from the convenience store told WSOC9 his recount from the incident:

“I heard the big bang and after me and the other guy came running out, that’s when we started pulling the guy out of the truck and tending to him.”

Pageland Rescue Squad and High Fire Department rushed to the crash site.
