Afternoon accident on Sea Island Parkway backs up traffic on Lady’s Island
Traffic was congested on Sea Island Parkway Monday following an afternoon crash that blocked several lanes on Lady’s Island.
The crash occurred before 3:16 p.m., and blocked southbound lanes on Sea Island Parkway at Ferry Drive according to an alert from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office. One lane heading north on Sea Island Parkway was also blocked, the alert said.
The two-car collision resulted in three passenger injuries that were not serious, according to Lady’s Island/St. Helena Fire District spokesperson Scott Harris. One passenger had to be extricated from the car because “the way the collision occurred caused damage to one of the vehicles, making it difficult to safely remove a patient without causing injuries,” Harris said.
The passengers were transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for treatment, Harris said.
As of 4:07 p.m., the crash had been cleared and all lanes were reopened.
