York, SC – Deputies in York County responded to a dangerous incident Saturday night after a driver allegedly got stuck while attempting to drive in heavy snow outside a Harris Teeter store on Celanese Road.
According to the York County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred around 8:10 p.m. when deputies spotted a vehicle driving erratically in the parking lot amid worsening road conditions. The driver reportedly became stuck on a snow-covered island and was taken into custody for driving under the influence (DUI).
The sheriff’s office emphasized that the combination of icy roads and impaired driving poses an extreme danger to both motorists and first responders. “It’s one thing to be out on these roads when it’s dangerous as it is,” the agency wrote in a post, “but to drink and drive in these conditions is next level.”
Officials urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel during the snowstorm and to never drive under the influence—especially during severe weather events.
The department continues to monitor conditions and reminded drivers to check local weather updates and report any hazardous road situations.
