“Mechanical Failure” To Blame for Interstate Crash

On Friday, a tractor-trailer truck crashed on I-85 at Fair Play, causing the wreckage to end up under the SC 11 overpass. Emergency responders had to block one of the southbound lanes due to broken glass and debris from the guardrail on the road.

According to Chief Larry Wilkerson of the Fair Play Fire Department, one person was briefly trapped in the wreckage and needed transportation to receive medical care. The cause of the accident is blamed by investigators on a mechanical failure of the truck.
