Tractor-Trailer Hits Prison Van on I-26, 8 Injured
A tractor trailer travelling from Charleston, South Carolina to Missouri struck a van carrying six prisoners from a work release program November 15. The van’s driver and all the passengers were transported to local hospitals. Except for one, all the prisoners were treated and released. The driver of the truck was treated for a broken finger as well as cuts and bruises. The prisoners were from Campbell Pre-Release Center in Columbia, South Carolina en route to a work release brush clearing project. The cause of the collision is still under investigation. Early reports indicated that the van was parked alongside the road, but later reports stated that both vehicles were travelling westbound at the time of the collision.
