Crashes block I-95 north lanes and heavy traffic in southbound lanes in Hardeeville
Multiple interstate crashes scattered between mile markers 4 and 8 in Hardeeville put I-95 traffic at a standstill Thursday afternoon.
At 3:22 p.m., the Hardeeville Fire Department posted an alert to its Facebook page warning travelers to avoid I-95. Five separate collisions on the interstate have completely blocked I-95 northbound from mile markers 5 through 8, according to Hardeeville Fire Chief Joey Rowell. The crashes also have caused heavy congestion in the southbound lanes from mile markers 4 through 8, Rowell said.
There are no significant injuries, according to Rowell, but the cars have sustained moderate damage. As of 3:33 p.m., he did not have information about how many cars were in wrecks, but at least two 18-wheelers were involved, Rowell said.
Heavy traffic delays can be expected in the area through the next several hours, Rowell said.
