Georgetown County crash slows traffic Tuesday

PAWLEYS ISLAND, SC (WBTW) – A crash was reported on Ocean Highway and Hobcaw Road near Pawleys Island around 11:35 a.m.Tuesday, according to the SC Highway Patrol.

When the incident first showed up on the SC Highway Patrol’s real time traffic system Tuesday afternoon, the website reported that all lanes were blocked, but over the course of the day, the traffic website no longer specified that the road was blocked.
