Overturned tractor trailer closes Old Barnwell Road Friday morning

Pine Grove, SC (Paul Kirby) – A tractor trailer truck overturned Friday morning completely blocking Old Barnwell Road near Enterprise Parkway. The call was reported at approximately 5:00 a.m.

When the first responding fire unit arrived from the Pine Grove fire station, they reported that the truck was on its side blocking the road. The driver was out of the truck and didn’t appear to be seriously injured.

The SCHP and other law enforcement agencies were on the scene directing traffic around the accident well into the morning. They were finally able to open one lane of traffic, and later the entire road, after the truck was pulled back up on its tires.

The cause of the accident is under investigation by the SCHP.
