Traffic alert! Disabled vehicle on Hilton Head bridges slowing Friday morning commute

Traffic flowing onto Hilton Head Island was moving slowly on Friday morning because of a “disabled” vehicle on the first bridge, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office news release.

More than an hour later around 8:45 a.m., the traffic was still congested in the eastbound lanes of U.S. 278 from Bluffton to Hilton Head, but the vehicle was removed from the bridge.
