WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — I-26 in West Columbia is clear following a Friday afternoon crash that caused a significant back-up for rush-hour traffic.
The West Columbia Fire Department said the crash happened on the interstate near mile marker 108 and initially shut down all westbound traffic. Authorities were diverting traffic as they work at the scene. Crews were able to open a couple of lanes several minutes later, but some lanes were still closed, causing a bottleneck.
All lanes have since been cleared, and cars are moving freely through the area. No additional details regarding the crash have been released though traffic cameras initially showed what appeared to be a pickup truck and attached camper flipped on one side with at least one other vehicle also damaged.
