UNION COUNTY, NC (WBTV) -

A single-vehicle accident in Union County has left one man dead, according to the Union County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies told WBTV that an SUV rolled over near the intersection of Wolfe Pond Road and Stack Road around 3 p.m. Wednesday.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol identified the victim as 54-year-old William L. Watkins.

Troopers said Watkins over corrected after running off the right side of Stack Road, and rolled into a ditch on the left side of the road.

The impact of the crash partially ejected Watkins from his 2000 Ford full-size van. The vehicle then rolled over on top of Watkins and killed him.
