slowed. Unfortunately a Johnston Town garbage truck also heading west
down the hill could not stop and struck the van sending it crashing
into the pickup truck. The impact pushed the pickup about twenty yards
up the road, injuring the driver who was taken to the hospital.A passenger in the Dodge van was also transported to an area hospital for treatment of injuries received in the collision. No one in the garbage truck was injured.  Edgefield County
