A wreck involving an 18-wheeler killed a Hartsville man and shut down a road in Florence County on Friday morning.
Florence County Coroner M.G. “Bubba” Matthews identifed the victim as Roberto Asencio Jr., 38.
It happened about 9:15 a.m. on Old River Road near Kingsburg. The truck was the only vehicle involved in the wreck. Its cab and trailer were engulfed in flames as a result of the crash.
The truck Asencio was driving was part of Florence’s Pepsi distribution fleet. The truck was headed south on Old River Road, then ran off the left side of the road and into a steep ravine.
Asencio was traveling alone when the wreck happened and was pronounced dead at the scene, Matthews said.
