York County, SC – A serious crash with injuries shut down a section of Old York Road near Mt. Gallant Road Wednesday afternoon, creating significant delays for drivers moving through the area.
According to the York County Sheriff’s Office, the roadway was closed shortly before 1 p.m. after deputies and emergency crews responded to a multi-vehicle collision at the busy intersection. Officials said at least one person was injured, though the extent of injuries had not yet been released.
Deputies urged drivers to avoid the area entirely while first responders worked the scene and cleared damaged vehicles. Traffic is being diverted onto Tirzah Road and South Parham Road, which serve as the primary alternate routes while Old York Road remains blocked.
The intersection of Old York Road and Mt. Gallant Road is a high-volume connector for residents traveling between Rock Hill, Clover, and wider York County, making the closure especially disruptive during the early afternoon travel period. Drivers in northern York County and surrounding communities may experience extended delays until the roadway reopens.
No estimate has been provided on when Old York Road will be cleared. Deputies said updates will be issued as crews make progress and the road approaches reopening.
