A two-vehicle crash in Florence County, South Carolina, sent one vehicle off an Interstate 95 overpass onto the 1900 block of West Lucas Street (Highway 52), scattering wreckage across the area. Emergency responders treated three injured individuals on scene, with one sustaining serious injuries before all were transported to a local hospital.

Incident Response

Florence County Fire Rescue, EMS, South Carolina Highway Patrol, and SCDOT all mobilized to the scene on Tuesday evening, closing multiple lanes of I-95 southbound and West Lucas Street toward Darlington. Spokesperson Anthony Fox confirmed the vehicle veered over the bridge and landed below.

Investigation Status

SCDOT inspected the bridge for damage, finding it structurally sound despite a damaged traffic camera pole (now removed and slated for replacement); lanes reopened by Thursday. The Highway Patrol continues probing the collision’s cause, with no further victim or driver identities released.
