At least one person has been injured in a five-car collision on Hilton Head Sunday afternoon, resulting in eastbound lanes heading onto the island being blocked.

The crash occurred just after 3 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 278 and Squire Pope Road, according to Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Maj. Bob Bromage.

At least one person was injured in the crash and they have been transported to Hilton Head Hospital for evaluation, Bromage said.
