Three Accidents Reported on Westbound I-20 in South Carolina

GEORGIA - A news report published on wrdw.com reports that fog caused at least two accidents and a jackknife truck accident.*

The accidents clogged up traffic along westbound I-20, on the side of the South Carolina's border.  The news report states that traffic began moving at around 8 in the morning.  The South Carolina Department of Transportation announced that the accident occurred by Mile Marker 1 on I-20.  

A second motor vehicle accident was reported by Five Notch Road.  Then a jackknifed truck blocked traffic on Interstate-20 by Martintown Road.  The three I-20 motor vehicle accidents backed up traffic for several hours.  Motorists attempted to exit Interstate-20 to avoid the traffic jam.

The fog may have been a cause of the accidents.  According to the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the traffic jam was resolved by 8:30 in the morning.  The accidents are currently under investigation.
