The Lexington, South Carolina, community is mourning the death of Timothy Dwight Coursey, a 66-year-old man who died following a four-vehicle collision near the intersection of North Lake Drive and Pilgrim Church Road. The crash occurred on Friday morning, November 6, 2026, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol and the Lexington County Coroner’s Office.

How the Fatal Lexington Crash Happened

The collision occurred at approximately 10:20 a.m. on North Lake Drive. According to the Highway Patrol’s account, a utility truck attempted to turn left onto Pilgrim Church Road and failed to yield to an oncoming Kia Sorento traveling south.

The Kia’s driver reportedly swerved to avoid the truck but collided head-on with Coursey’s Chevrolet Silverado. The impact sent the Silverado into a fourth vehicle, a Nissan Altima, resulting in a four-vehicle crash.

Coursey was the Silverado’s only occupant. He was wearing a seat belt and was taken to hospital, where he later died. The Kia driver was also hospitalized, although officials had not released information about that person’s condition. The occupants of the utility truck and Nissan were reported uninjured.

Disclaimer

There is an important date discrepancy in the supplied article. The official and local reports reviewed place the crash at approximately 10:20 a.m. on Friday, November 6, 2026, not Saturday, November 7. Coursey’s funeral-home obituary also lists November 6 as his date of death. The collision sequence and injury information are based on reports attributed to the South Carolina Highway Patrol and Lexington County Coroner’s Office.

Authorities had not announced charges against the truck driver in the sources reviewed. The investigation was ongoing, so the reported failure to yield should not be treated as a final legal determination of fault.
