William Bardsley was getting ready to watch a basketball game when a car came through his house and struck and killed him, said Greenville County Deputy Coroner Scott Ramsey.
The accident occurred around 9 pm Saturday night at Bardsley's home at 18 War Admiral Way in Travelers Rest. The South Carolina Highway Patrol says the driver of the 2007 Maserati, John Gilbert Ludwig was traveling on Roe Ford Road when the car went off the right side of the road and through a field before going into the backside of the house. Bardsley was pronounced dead at the scene. Ramsey says Bardsley's wife was also in the house at the time of the accident, but she was not injured.
Neighbors say they're always worried about drivers speeding on Roe Ford Road, but never thought something like this could happen. "You like to think you're safe in your home and people know, of course, you can be robbed or someone can invade your home, but no one expects a car to invade your home," Jeff Gordon said.
