York County, SC – A York County driver was pulled over late Friday night after allegedly speeding at 91 mph in a 60 mph zone on Interstate 77, according to the York County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO).
The stop marks part of a traffic crackdown as deputies increase enforcement ahead of expected winter weather in the area. In a post on social media, YCSO cautioned residents not to rush, saying, “It’s not a good idea to drive 91 in a 60, even to go get bread and milk before the snow.”
According to the sheriff’s office, the traffic unit is out in full force tonight, focusing on speeding and unsafe driving along major routes, including I-77. Deputies say that reducing speed is critical to preventing crashes during cold and wet conditions.
While details about the driver were not released, officials emphasized that this serves as a warning to all motorists as snow and freezing temperatures move in.
Residents are urged to plan extra travel time, check weather updates, and drive cautiously throughout the night.
