A Spartanburg County Sheriffs deputy directing traffic outside Landrum High School was struck by a vehicle Wednesday morning, but his injuries are not thought to be serious.
According to a written statement from the Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office, 50-year-old Bill Lyndrand was directing traffic in front of the high school on Hwy. 176 at around 11:30 a.m. when he was grazed by a vehicle. Lyndrand, who was assigned to Spartanburg County Schools District One as a school resource officer, was later transported to Spartanburg Regional Hospital.
According to the sheriffs office statement, the driver of a 2006 Dodge Truck was making a left turn out of Landrum High School to go toward Inman, when she struck Lyndrand.
The driver of the car was reportedly wearing a seatbelt and not injured. She was cited for driving too fast for conditions.
The S.C. Highway Patrol is investigating the incident.
