Officials say a crash that killed an Upstate man Tuesday afternoon could have been caused by a medical episode. The single vehicle crash happened around 12:30 PM on Cedar Springs Road in Abbeville County.

The victim has been identified as 67 year old, James Wideman of Greenwood County. The South Carolina Highway Patrol says Wideman's vehicle ran off the road, hit two mailboxes, a ditch and a tree.

Wideman was pronounced dead after being transported to the hospital. The investigation is still in its early stages, but officials say the crash could have been caused by a medical issue.

An autopsy is set to be performed Thursday to determine more details on Wideman's death.
