Bridge collapse leads to closure of I-20 in Aiken County

An accident involving a fuel truck caused the closure of a portion of I-20 eastbound in Aiken County early Saturday morning. The incident occurred near mile marker 13 and involved a fire on an 18-wheeler. Various emergency services were on site to manage the situation, and two individuals were taken to the hospital. Currently, the affected area spans between Exit 11 and Exit 18, with Old Vaucluse Road also shut down due to a collapsed bridge. Officials anticipate an extended closure and advise drivers to seek alternative routes and refrain from the area. Specific detours have been established for eastbound and westbound traffic, as directed by the South Carolina Department of Transportation. Updates will be provided as new details emerge.
