South Carolina DOT Maintenance Foreman Perishes

By Michael Jeffcoat, Esq.

Standra Jones, a long-time South Carolina DOT worker and married father of two, was fatally injured when a pickup truck ran off Interstate 26 early Thursday morning, striking him as he supervised a barrier cleaning project. Mr. Jones was rushed to Lexington Medical Center, but doctors were unable to save him. The pickup truck, driven by Robert Cunningham of Gaston, South Carolina, left the westbound I-26 roadway around 5:40 a.m. and ran into an SC DOT truck before hitting Mr. Jones. The pickup truck driver and another SC DOT worker, whose name has not been released, were also injured. The South Carolina Highway Patrol is still investigating the collision.

Thanks to WIS television and The State newspaper for reporting.
