Cause of Backup
A disruption, likely an obstruction or debris in the roadway, caused the standstill, with reports of significant backups from SC Department of Transportation updates. Similar past incidents on I-26 eastbound involved debris leading to flat tires near nearby interchanges like Volvo Car Drive.​
