The South Carolina Highway Patrol says Willets was headed west on the 4-wheeler on a power-line path as a Chevy van was traveling south on Ascauga Lake Road.
“The four-wheeler attempted to cross Ascauga Lake Road when it pulled into the path of the van, causing the van to entrap the four-wheeler and rider beneath it,” according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
