A 73-year-old Piedmont man was fatally injured in a multi-vehicle crash Dec. 30 while traveling home after attending a relative’s funeral.
According to Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore, Dwayne Kenneth Stegall, was treated at the scene by EMS personnel and transported by Lifeflight Air Medical Services to Prisma Health Trauma Center in Greenville. Stegall succumbed to his injuries upon arriving at the trauma center.
The investigation indicates that Stegall was the operator of a vehicle traveling north on Highway 29, Anderson when he apparently struck another vehicle in the rear at Cox Road. The decedent’s vehicle then traveled into the path of a semi tractor trailer. The decedent was the only occupant of the vehicle and was restrained at the time of the accident.
The Anderson County Fire Department, Medshore Ambulance Service, Anderson County EMS, Lifeflight, South Carolina Transport Police, South Carolina Highway Patrol and the Office of the Coroner responded.
