Overview
- Responders closed I‑95 over the Lake Marion bridge on Thursday morning, initially stopping traffic in both directions between mile markers roughly 98 and 100.
- Officials confirmed multiple injuries including at least two serious cases and one person airlifted to a hospital, and no deaths were reported in available accounts.
- Reports of how many vehicles were involved varied widely, with local outlets and camera footage describing dozens of passenger cars plus multiple 18‑wheelers rather than a single settled total.
- Emergency crews performed mechanical extrication on two vehicles and said heavy congestion forced some responders to leave their vehicles and walk to reach trapped or injured motorists.
- Traffic reopened in stages with northbound lanes cleared first, a southbound detour at mile marker 102 put in place, and all lanes reported reopened hours later as crews finished clearing the scene.
