South Carolina Tow Truck Driver Dies of Heart Attack on Road


A South Carolina tow truck driver who died in a crash this morning was found to have suffered a heart attack, according to a news report.



Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton said 74-year-old Mike Chavis of Aiken was pronounced dead at the scene of the traffic crash that occurred this morning around 8 a.m., the report states. Initially his death was thought to be traffic-related but the coroner found no crash trauma and an autopsy confirmed the heart attack.



Chavis was driving his tow truck north on U.S. Highway 1 when he crossed over the southbound lane and came to rest in a field.



Toxicology is pending, but the coroner said Chavis’ death will be ruled as natural.
