Lexington County, SC – Drivers across Lexington County are being urged to avoid travel today as snow begins to accumulate on roadways, creating dangerous driving conditions and reported crashes.
According to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department, snow accumulation has already led to icy roads across several major routes, with deputies asking residents to stay home unless travel is absolutely necessary. Officials say conditions could worsen as temperatures remain low and snowfall continues.
Authorities confirmed a vehicle rollover at Fairview Road and Truex Road, where one lane is currently closed. No injuries have been publicly reported, but deputies warn that icy bridges and shaded roadways remain especially dangerous.
As of today, the following locations have been reported as hazardous due to ice:

- Two Notch Road & Calks Ferry Road – Icy roadway
- Pisgah Church Road & Augusta Highway – Icy roadway
