Clover, SC – A stretch of Highway 557 at Glenn Brandon Road in Clover is closed after a two-car crash caused injuries and blocked the roadway, according to the York County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies responded early Wednesday after the collision left the roadway impassable. The South Carolina Highway Patrol is now leading the investigation. Officials did not specify the number or severity of injuries but confirmed that EMS crews responded to the scene.
The sheriff’s office reported that the full roadway is shut down in both directions, and drivers are being detoured around the intersection. As of the latest update, there is no estimated timeframe for reopening Highway 557. Drivers heading between Clover, Lake Wylie, and the Charlotte metro region should expect delays.
The crash occurred along a heavily traveled connector route between York County communities and nearby North Carolina commuter corridors. Morning traffic is already impacted, and deputies advise drivers to consider Highway 55, Highway 321, or local backroads as alternate routes until the scene clears.
Authorities said troopers will release additional details as the investigation develops. Tow crews remain on-site working to clear debris and damaged vehicles.
Residents in the area reported heavy congestion near residential neighborhoods and school routes. Anyone traveling through Clover, Lake Wylie, or the greater York County region should allow extra time.
