Yemassee crash sends 2 to hospital, traffic on I-95, US 17 and US 21 at a standstill
Two people were taken to the hospital following a crash in Yemassee around 3 p.m. on Sunday that left a vehicle overturned.
Yemassee Police Department officers are working the scene of the accident according to a statement from police spokesman Matt Garnes Sunday afternoon. Two adults from the same overturned vehicle were taken to Hampton Regional Medical Center by Hampton County EMS. The pair reportedly had minor injuries.
The crash is still under investigation.
This is the latest accident on a Sunday that has seen several, including multiple incidents on I-95.
Garnes said that the South Carolina Highway Patrol is handling multiple accidents in our area.
Traffic on I-95 was at a standstill according to Garnes, who cites people returning home from the holidays as the reason. People attempting to use U.S. 17 and U.S. 21 have also highly congested those roads, he said.
