In a tractor-trailer truck accident last Thursday, the truck went over the rail on Interstate-20 (I-20) into the Augusta Canal. A Lancaster, South Carolina man was the driver of the truck. He suffered only minor injuries.
Apparently, this guard rail on the South Carolina line is no stranger to tractor-trailer accidents: this tractor-trailer truck accident is the third one in three years in which a tractor-trailer truck crashed through the guard rail.
A wrecker driver had worked in two of them. In the last crash the eighteen-wheeler hung from the bridge rather than falling into the river.

Thursday, a truck carrying a crane crashed into the structure of a swing bridge in Beaufort, SC. The bridge connects downtown Beaufort to Lady’s Island. The truck crash closed the bridge for several hours, as engineers checked the bridge for serious damage. The inspectors came in from Charleston, SC. There are no reports of personal injury, only damage to the truck carrying the crane.
Cranes are generally very dangerous, but also a risk are trucks carrying cranes apparently.

Columbia television station WIS reports that 14 were killed Sunday evening near the border in an accident involving a pickup truck on a rural highway. The accident was likely caused by tire separation said safety experts. The truck was apparently carrying 23 before it crashed, killing the 14, while 9 remain hospitalized.
It is not clear yet whether the truck’s tire separation was caused by a manufacturing or design defect, rather than a defect in the tire’s maintenance. Authorities have yet to name the tire’s manufacturer.
11 people died on the scene, including 2 children. 3 more died at hospitals. The driver died in the crash, despite the separated tire being on the right.
