CHESTER COUNTY, S.C. — A driver is dead after a collision that involved three different cars in Chester County, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
Troopers say it happened along SC Highway 72, just two miles north of Chester, around 5:40 p.m. A 2003 Chevy sedan with a driver inside was headed south on the highway at the time when the car hit the rear end of a northbound 2015 Toyota, which was stopped in traffic.

Troopers also noted the driver of the Chevy sedan was not hurt and was not transported. SCHP is still investigating the crash.
