 EDGEFIELD COUNTY, SC (WFXG) - 
 
An Aiken man died in an ATV crash early Friday morning, according to the Edgefield County Coroner. 

James Seigler, 48, was riding four-wheelers with friends on McCreight Road when he got separated from the group.

Seigler's friends found him around 12:15 a.m. They told investigators it looked like Seigler went down a hill on his four-wheeler, hit a tree and ended up in a creek. 

The coroner said there was blunt force trauma to Seigler's head, but that he died from drowning. His death was ruled an accident.
