A 33-year-old Blacksburg man died early Thursday after his vehicle became airborne and struck a tree off McGill Highway.
Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler said he pronounced Jonathan David Duncan dead at 6:05 a.m. Thursday. Duncan died of massive head trauma.
Duncan had been out with a friend and was returning home after dropping the friend off at 4 a.m., Fowler said. A newspaper carrier for the Spartanburg Herald- Journal discovered the 1991 Toyota pickup truck at 4:35 a.m. wrecked near 986 McGill Hwy., about five miles south of Blacksburg. She told her supervisor that several vehicles passed the accident scene before she arrived but didn't stop to help.
"Maybe if one of those people had stopped, the driver would have survived," she reportedly told her supervisor.
Duncan was traveling west on McGill Highway when he traveled off the left side of the road, lost control of the vehicle and then traveled off the right side of the road, said Cpl. Bryan McDougald of the S.C. Highway Patrol. Duncan's vehicle overturned and became airborne before striking a tree, authorities said.
Duncan, who was not wearing a seat belt, was traveling faster than the posted 40 mph speed limit, Fowler said. Alcohol tests are pending.
Duncan was an electrician. He is survived by a son and daughter. His death marks the second traffic-related fatality in Cherokee County this year.
