Cpl. Collins tells News13 drones are being used to map out the scene in order to figure out how to clear the interstate.

After the truck is taken out, Cpl. Collins says SCDOT will put in a temporary guard rail. It may take several hours to clear the scene.

Meanwhile, Highway Patrol is releasing more information about what exactly led up to the crash.

Just after 11 a.m., the 18-wheeler was traveling northbound on I-95. That’s when it crossed over the median, striking a Toyota truck and Mazda car heading south. That resulted in the three fatalities. Information as to who was in each vehicle has not been released yet.

The MAIT (Multi-disciplinary Accident Investigation Team) is assisting Highway Patrol in the investigation.
