Swansea, S.C. – A peaceful Sunday turned tragic when a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Martin Neese Road and Highway 6 claimed the life of a local man. According to reports from the Lexington County Coroner’s Office, 68-year-old Marion Phillip Glymph of Lexington was involved in the incident that left the community in shock.
The accident occurred around midday, when Glymph was driving northbound on Martin Neese Road. Witnesses say it was a busy day, with traffic flowing steadily through the intersection. In a split second, everything changed. As Glymph approached the intersection, a car traveling east on Highway 6 struck his vehicle, resulting in a catastrophic collision.
Emergency responders arrived quickly at the scene, but unfortunately, it was too late for Glymph, who was pronounced dead on-site due to the injuries he sustained in the crash. His passing is a tragic reminder of the unpredictability of life and the roads we travel. Two occupants from the other vehicle involved were transported to a nearby hospital. Thankfully, their injuries were considered non-life-threatening, but the ordeal certainly left them shaken.

Friends and family describe him as a kind-hearted individual who always had a smile to share.

They are looking into the specific circumstances surrounding the crash, speaking with witnesses, and gathering evidence to understand how such a devastating situation unfolded. Authorities are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident or has additional information to come forward, as every detail can help piece together what happened that day.
