Pineville man dies in crash
Staff report
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
A Pineville man died this morning after his pickup truck ran into a ditch near St. Stephen.
John Rembert, 63, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 7 a.m. wreck, said Berkeley County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Salisbury.
Authorities say Rembert was driving a pickup truck north on S.C. Highway 45 when he attempted to pass a school bus.
Rembert lost control and the pickup went off the left shoulder, said S.C. Highway Patrol Cpl. Paul Brouthers. The driver over-corrected and the pickup truck then went off the right shoulder and into a ditch.
It was raining at the time and Salisbury said weather appears to be a factor in the wreck.
Salisbury said Rembert was not wearing a seatbelt.
The Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
