At least three people died in accidents across the Upstate this weekend.
The first happened Friday night in Spartanburg County. Officials said Rush McComas was riding a bike at a motocross track when he crashed into another bike Friday evening.
Another bike crashed into McComas moments later.
McComas, 48, of Raleigh, N.C., was transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, where he died at about 7 p.m. Friday.
An Easley teen died in a single-car crash Sunday morning.
Troopers said Mandy Mitchell Roberts, 18, had just left a party in Greenville when she lost control of her car on Buckhorn Road just after midnight.
The car flipped several times. Roberts, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the car and killed.
A Sunday afternoon accident claimed the life of an Anderson man.
Troopers said that Steve R. Brock was test driving a friend's motorcycle on Airline Road just before 5:30 p.m. when he passed a car illegally in a curve, ran off the side of the road and hit several trees.
Brock, 46, died at the scene of head and chest injuries. He was not wearing a helmet.
The Anderson County coroner's office said Brock had a blood-alcohol level of .130 at the time of the accident
