IRMO, S.C. — Crews from the Irmo Fire District were called in after a tree fell on a woman's car while she drove along Piney Grove Road on Thursday.
Windy conditions ahead of Hurricane Ian caused a large pine tree to snap and fall on the gray sedan around 3:45 p.m. After it was hit, the car continued to travel several hundred yards along Piney Grove before stopping in a yard against another tree.
Lexington County EMS personnel were able to treat the driver as the Irmo Fire crew cut her out of the vehicle.
The driver was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive.
