A 35-year-old man died in a single-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 1 in North Augusta today, according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.

Gregory A. Maree was traveling south toward Augusta on Highway 1 at about 9:45 a.m. when he left the roadway in a curve near the Cheap Cigarrettes store, the coroner said. The 1995 Honda struck two abandoned, above-ground gas tanks, which were empty, and caught fire.

Mr. Maree was pronounced dead at the scene of multiple body trauma. He was not wearing a seat belt, Mr. Carlton said.

The accident is being investigated by the North Augusta Department of Public Safety and the Aiken County Coroner's Office. Toxicology is pending.

The fatal crash was the 20th in Aiken County this year.
