South Carolina Trucker Who Forced Closure of I-26 Charged
The South Carolina Highway Patrol has charged Elijah Love of North Augusta, South Carolina, with driving too fast for conditions relating to the incident that closed westbound Interstate 26 in Columbia on Tuesday, December 11. Mr. Love’s tanker truck overturned on the curving overpass interchange between I-26 and I-126. Mr. Love’s truck, which contained acid, lodged against the safety railing, prompting concerns for traffic passing beneath. The Highway Patrol closed all westbound traffic on the two interstates at the wreck location for about 7 hours. Thankfully, authorities report that no acid spilled out of the truck.
