LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Lexington County officials have released the names of two men killed in a wreck earlier this week.
Coroner Harry Harman says 87-year-old Mieczyslaw Michae Butzich of Gilbert and 62-year-old Edward William Hartung Jr. of Batesburg-Leesville died in the collision Wednesday afternoon.
A woman was injured in the three-vehicle wreck on U.S. 378.
The Highway Patrol says Butzich ran a stop sign and hit a pickup truck that Hartung was driving. Hartung’s truck was pushed into a car in the oncoming lane.
The woman’s name and condition were not available. She was taken to Lexington Medical Center for treatment.
