I-95 overpass at Hilton Head exit closed; semi crash blocks Hardeeville lanes

Both southbound lanes on I-95 were blocked near the 4-mile marker for about four hours after a tractor-trailer overturned around 9:30 a.m. as rain and freezing rain worked its way through the Lowcountry.

The South Carolina Department of Public Safety announced just after 1 p.m. that the highway had been reopened.

No information on any possible injuries has been released.

The overpass at Exit 8 is also closed in both directions, according to Jasper County Emergency Services. However, drivers can still get on the entrance and exit ramps onto I-95.

Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area and, if possible, stay off the roadways.

Multiple wrecks have been reported throughout Beaufort County.
