Clover, South Carolina – Ice remains on portions of Lawrence Road near Woodbridge Road in the Clover area, creating hazardous travel conditions on secondary roads in western York County.
According to the York County Sheriff’s Office, deputies observed lingering ice on roadways, particularly in areas with heavy tree cover and prolonged shade. Officials said conditions remain slick despite daylight, increasing the risk of skidding and crashes for drivers traveling through rural sections of the county.
The Sheriff’s Office shared images from Lawrence Road showing snow and ice packed along the roadway, with traffic moving cautiously as law enforcement monitored conditions. Authorities emphasized that shaded roads may refreeze or remain icy longer than main highways, even as temperatures rise.
Drivers are urged to slow down, increase following distance, and avoid sudden braking when traveling on secondary roads. Officials noted that areas near Woodbridge Road and surrounding neighborhoods in Clover are among the locations still affected.
No specific crashes or injuries were reported in connection with the icy conditions at the time of the update. However, deputies warned that conditions can change quickly, especially on less-traveled roads that receive limited sunlight.
Commuters, students, and young workers traveling during off-peak hours may encounter unexpected slick spots, particularly on rural routes used as shortcuts.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local traffic advisories and allow extra travel time until conditions improve. The Sheriff’s Office said deputies will continue to patrol affected areas and provide updates as needed.
