Effingham County Sheriff's Department reports 30-year-old Benjamin Swanson of Dieterich was traveling west on the roadway at 1600th Street when the crash occurred at 6:45pm. Deputies report Swanson was passing a vehicle headed down a hill when his pickup truck began skidding. Swanson lost control of the pickup, which ran off the roadway to the left.
