The S.C. Highway Patrol said John Thomas Moran pulled his four-door Nissan onto C.R. Koon Highway around 7 p.m. into the path of a Chevrolet driven by Russell Hawkins Pitts, 46, of Prosperity.
Pitts was taken to Newberry County Memorial Hospital for treatment, said Billy Elder, spokesman for the S.C. Highway Patrol.
