Driver killed in crash with dump truck on Highway 292

A man died Thursday afternoon after his car veered into the path of a dump truck on a Spartanburg highway.

The wreck happened about 2:15 p.m. on Highway 292 near New Cut Road, just west of Inman.

According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the driver of a 1997 Ford Mustang was headed west toward Lyman when he crossed the center line and hit a dump truck. The truck overturned, spilling a load of gravel onto the shoulder of the road.

The driver of the Mustang was trapped in the car and pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt.

The man's identity is pending the notification of his family, Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger said Thursday night.

The driver of the dump truck, William Brian Henderson of Moore, was not injured in the wreck.
