One person was killed Sunday in an early morning crash on a Midlands road, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

Nicholas Nathaniel Baker, a 41-year-old Elgin resident, died in what Kershaw County Coroner David West called an accident.

The single-vehicle collision happened at about 2 a.m. in Kershaw County when a 2014 Toyota truck was driving north on Veterans Row, said Master Trooper Mitchell Ridgeway. That’s close to U.S. 1 in the Elgin area.

Near the intersection with Chestnut Road, the pickup ran off the left side of Veterans Row and crashed into a guard rail, Ridgeway said.

Baker, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, according to West.

No other injuries were reported.

Information about what caused the pickup to veer off the road was not available, but the crash continues to be investigated by the Highway Patrol.

Through June 2, at least 386 people had died on South Carolina roads in 2024, according to the state Department of Public Safety. Last year, 1,030 people died in crashes in South Carolina, DPS reported.

At least four people have died in Kershaw County crashes in 2024, according to DPS data. There were 11 deaths reported in the county in 2023, DPS said.
