Ridgeland truck crash kills 19-year-old driver

A 19-year-old Blythewood man was killed late Friday night when he lost control of the truck he was driving, drove off the road and struck a tree on S.C. 462 in Ridgeland, Jasper County Coroner Martin Sauls III said Saturday.

Jonathan Coleman apparently was driving home from work in Bluffton when the incident occurred near Salsburg Road around 11 p.m., Sauls said.

An autopsy is scheduled to be performed today at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
