🚨 Traffic Alert 🚨
There is a collision on I-95 southbound at the 133-mile marker.
One lane is currently closed.
Please use caution and be mindful of first responders on scene if traveling in the area.
Slow down and move over!
Talk about scary! Take a look at the number of collisions that occurred during Halloween weekend last year.
Remember to be extra cautious as you navigate the night, whether on foot or in a vehicle.
Parents and trick-or-treaters, consider carrying flashlights and wear reflective materials so drivers can spot you easily.

Unfortunately, spooky decoration don't scare away severe weather hazards. If severe weather is forecasted, prepare your home by putting away any items that the wind could pick up. Remember, if you can smash that pumpkin, the wind can too!

Tomorrow will be a busy traffic day!
If you’re headed to the State Fair, Williams-Brice, or both, plan ahead now and please make smart decisions behind the wheel!

We are here early this morning for game day and the state fair.
If you’re headed this way today prepare for traffic and follow the directions of law enforcement.
A DUI can haunt you for a lifetime.
Between the fines, legal fees, skyrocketing car insurance costs, and doors that can close on future career goals — the nightmare doesn’t end when the case does.
If you drink, skip the fright. Designate BEFORE you celebrate.

This week SC and NC State Troopers came together for their annual golf tournament they call the “Carolinas Cup”.
The event this year was held in South Carolina at the Solina Golf Club in West Columbia.
Caught on camera! Watch as three drivers violate the law by passing a school bus when the stop arm was activated. Not only did these violators risk a $1,000 fine and six points against their driver's license, but their choices put these children in unnecessary danger.
When you see flashing lights on a school bus, slow down, prepare to stop and ALWAYS look for children crossing.
Get educated on when to stop for school buses by visiting: scdps.sc.gov/schoolbus
