MIAMI (AP) - Authorities say Irma has caused a fourth death in South Carolina when a city worker drove off the road during heavy rains.
Columbia City Manager Teresa Wilson says 48-year-old Arthur Strudwick died after a single-vehicle crash Monday night.
Columbia police said they believe weather was a factor. Police said it appears Strudwick lost control of his pickup truck and went off the road, striking a tree, during windy and rainy conditions.
Wilson says Strudwick was pronounced dead at a hospital. The worker for the forestry division of the city's Public Works Department had been on his way to help with a downed tree when he crashed.
Three other deaths in South Carolina have been attributed to the storm.
