One day. Four vehicle crashes. One building struck. A busy day for Burton firefighters
Burton fighters responded to four crashes Thursday that resulted in minor injuries. One of the vehicles collided with a building, firefighters said.
The first crash was reported at 8 a.m. at the Parris Island Gateway and Grafton Drive intersection, according to a Burton Fire District news release. The single- vehicle crash resulted in minor injuries and caused delays for approximately half an hour.
The second crash happened around 6:30 p.m., at the Dollar General at 548 Parris Island Gateway when a vehicle collided with the building. Damages to the vehicle and building were minor and the driver suffered minor injuries.
Just an hour later, the fire district responded to a crash on Trask Parkway. It involved only one vehicle and no injuries were reported.
Less than an hour later, a fourth crash happened on Parris Island Gateway when a vehicle struck a deer. No injuries were reported and delays were minimal.
The fire district has responded to over 304 crashes so far this year. Fifteen of those crashes happened within the last week.
