 North Carolina man ruled sixth fatality in Aiken County after hit-and-run collision web posted February 25, 2008 NORTH AUGUSTA – A North Carolina man became the sixth traffic fatality in Aiken County around 3 am Saturday morning in a hit-and-run collision on Atomic Road, Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton said. 24 year old, Gregorio C. Cruz of Hendersonville NC was pronounced dead at the scene after being ejected from the Ford Expedition he was traveling in when it was struck by a 1992 brown Ford F150 pickup truck. It is unknown if Mr. Cruz was the driver or passenger of the Expedition. According to Coroner Carlton, allegedly Mr. Cruz and another occupant were traveling north on Atomic Rd in the early morning when their vehicle was sideswiped by a pick up truck traveling south on Atomic Rd. The light brown 1992 Ford F150 pick up swerved into the northbound lane and struck Cruz's vehicle causing it to leave the road. The Expedition struck a guardrail causing Cruz and the other male occupant to be ejected onto the roadway. The other unidentified occupant of the Expedition was taken to the MCG Trauma Unit in critical condition. The Expedition continued off the road and down a 40 ft ravine. The pickup and its occupant or occupants attempted to flee the scene, however the damage was too extensive and the truck was abandoned approximately 3/4 of mile from the crash scene and the occupants fled. North Augusta Public Safety is in the process of locating the owner of the light brown Ford F150 pick up truck. The crash is being investigated by NADPS and the Aiken County Coroner's Office. Any information that the public may have should be reported to these offices. It is expected that the driver and /or passengers are probably injured and will seek medical care. ©
