Police urge drivers to stay out for patchy ice on overpasses and bridges.

North Charleston Police warned of potential ice patches on I-26 overpasses amid ongoing winter hazards. Eastbound lanes near Cosgrove Avenue closed briefly after a 1:20 a.m. crash but reopened by 4 a.m. on Monday.​

Road Incident Details

It’s unclear if ice contributed to the accident, but NCPD urged caution due to lingering refreezing risks. This follows recent Lowcountry snowmelt creating black ice statewide.

Safety Recommendations

Slow down, increase following distance, and watch for bridges or shaded areas. Schools remain closed amid sub-freezing temps [prior context]. Layer up outdoors with hats and gloves .​
