A Great Falls man died Monday morning in a one-vehicle wreck on S.C. 9 near Grace Avenue west of Lancaster.
The victim was David Wayne Roberts, 63, according to the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to Lance Cpl. Gary Miller of the S.C. Highway Patrol, Roberts was alone driving west on S.C. 9 shortly before 7:15 a.m. His 2003 Chevy Trailblazer left the right side of the road and hit a guardrail before swerving to the left down an embankment in the median and smashing into a tree.

The culinary arts kitchen at the Lancaster County Career Center was abuzz late Friday morning, and will continue to stay busy every other Friday with the grand opening of The Phoenix Café.
The café, named after the new school mascot, features made-from-scratch meals prepared in-house by students, and serves the staff at Lancaster High School, the school district HQ and the career center.
Chef Scott Michaw is at the helm in the kitchen, with more than 10 years of experience as a professional chef, and he said his students love this opportunity to cook.

The county’s Unified Development Ordinance, passed in 2016, requires subdivision builders along the path of the massive Carolina Thread Trail to construct sections of the trail.
Larry Honeycutt wants to tap the brakes on that idea.

A Lancaster man and woman were arrested Friday after a shot was fired at SWAT team members entering their home during a drug raid, according to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.
