One person has been transported with non-life threatening injuries to an area hospital after a two-vehicle crash at the base of the Broad River Bridge in Port Royal, said Ross Vezin, Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department spokesperson.

He said one of the vehicles rolled over during the collision.

All lanes had been reopened by 5:30 pm., a Beaufort County Sheriff’s office alert says.

One westbound lane on S.C. 170 remained closed at about 4:45 p.m. as emergency crews worked at the scene, he said. Both westbound lanes had previously been blocked for about 30 minutes.
