A heavy load may have contributed to a Berkeley County, SC accident involving a landscaping company worker on June 25, 2008. Tim Marshall was driving a one ton pickup truck, pulling forklift on a trailer, when wasn?t able to stop at a stop sign at Canady Branch Road and U.S. Highway 52 near Lake Marion. Reports indicate Mr. Marshall skidded past the stop sign and into U.S. 52. A tractor-trailer travelling west wasn?t able to stop before striking the driver?s side of the pickup truck. Although Mr. Marshall was conscious and able to speak to his wife at the scene, he died of his injuries from the collision.
