29-year-old Lancaster man died in a single-vehicle wreck early Saturday morning, authorities said.

Jason Shawn Payne of 681 Adams Lane was driving a red 1990 Chevy pickup truck south along S.C. 522 about 9 miles east of Lancaster when the truck ran off the right side of the road, traveled down an embankment and flipped, said Lance Cpl. Josef Robinson of the S.C. Highway Patrol.

Unions at Jaguar and Land Rover are backing Tata Motors’ offer for the brands, which are being sold by Ford Motor, according to published reports.

The Financial Times and Wall Street Journal reported that workers at both brands have decided to support Tata’s bid over rival offers from Indian group Mahindra & Mahindra and private equity firm One Equity Partners.

The unions prefer to remain part of Ford, but believe Tata would be best suited to manage the luxury brands should a sale go through, the reports said.

Union support could give Tata a boost in winning the politically sensitive deal, the newspapers said.

Winnebago is set to launch its new-generation Ford Transit- and Fiat Ducato-based six-and-seven-metre motor-homes. Dubbed the Birdsville, the four models carry price tags between $87,990 and $99,990 and the B or C-class six-metre versions are constructed on the new Transit T4250 cab/chassis and the seven-metre B or C-class homes on wheels use the Ducato X251 cab/chassis.

Because there is no bed over the cabin, the B-class Birdsvilles sport a sleeker, more-aerodynamic and the more traditional C-class design offers additional sleeping space in the above-cabin luton peak.

The new motor-homes are constructed with a strong aluminum frame and laminated walls, floor and roof meet Federal Government manufacturing standards.

The four Birdsville models are fully self-contained with sizeable low beds, well-equipped kitchens, a bathroom with vanity basin, flushing toilet and a shower with hot or cold water on tap.

The driver and passenger chairs are designed to become part of the living area and they swivel for TV viewing or to double as just another two comfortable chairs.

There is plenty of cupboard space and drawers and a wardrobe as well as external storage compartments.

Water carried in the on-board fresh-water tank is for drinking as well as for washing up and showering and LP gas handles the cooking and hot-water heating.

Two deep-cycle batteries coupled with a battery charger offer sufficient power for lighting and other appliances,

The family owned Winnebago Industries now designs and builds more than 70 models covering 10 major ranges at its factory at Emu Plains, west of Sydney.
