Greenwood, SC – Authorities across South Carolina are warning drivers to stay off the roads Friday as icy conditions have led to multiple vehicle crashes in several counties. The Greenwood County Sheriff’s Office shared photos of overturned and damaged vehicles, urging residents to use extreme caution.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, crashes have been reported on South Lake Drive in Lexington County, along SC-90 near Conway, and in Greenwood and Laurens counties. Troopers said the recent winter weather has made roads slick and unsafe, leading to an uptick in wrecks throughout the morning.
“We are urging everyone to stay home and, if you must travel, drive at a safe speed,” the agency said in a statement. Deputies in Greenwood echoed that warning, reminding residents to check on neighbors — especially the elderly or disabled — as cold and icy weather persists.
Photos shared by law enforcement show several vehicles overturned or off the road, including one crash involving a white pickup truck in Greenwood County. No serious injuries have been reported at this time, but officers say conditions remain hazardous across much of the state.
Officials advise avoiding unnecessary travel until temperatures rise and roadways are cleared.
