The second accident occurred roughly 30 minutes later at the intersection of Grober Hill Road and Castle Rock Road where a vehicle went into a ditch, the release said. The driver in that incident was also unharmed.

A third single vehicle accident happened on Midtown Drive in Port Royal, though the release did not give a time for it or list any particulars, save to say that the driver did not suffer any injuries.

Finally, at around 3 a.m., there was a roll over accident at the intersection of Robert Smalls Parkway and Ashton Point. Firefighters arrived to find a van on its side, the release states.
