PICKENS — The Greater Pickens Chamber of Commerce started a heavy-duty project Tuesday that has been more than a year in the making.

With about two weeks of work, the boulder will become a sign marking the building as the new Pickens Visitors Center.

South Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper Justin Sutherland said the collision occurred at the intersection of S.C. Highway 183/West Main Street and Durham Mill Road at 10:10 p.m. on July 4.
The collision occurred as a 2004 Yamaha motorcycle driven by 50-year-old Ronald Duncan of Six Mile was traveling west on S.C. 183, Sutherland said.
