According to Barry McRoy, director of Colleton County Fire-Rescue, the man’s vehicle was traveling northbound on the exit ramp when the man did not his car at McLeod Road, sending the car through the intersection and crashing into the woods.
“At some point, the man managed to crawl out of the car until he was found,” said McRoy.
