周四上午,南卡罗来纳州I-95高速公路发生多车连环相撞,导致该主要公路完全瘫痪。当地官员一直工作到下午才重新开放两条车道。

A multivehicle crash on Interstate 95 in South Carolina on Thursday morning brought the major highway to a standstill. Local officials worked into the afternoon to reopen both lanes of traffic.

根据克拉伦登县消防救援部门在社交媒体上的消息,事故发生在I-95高速公路100英里标记处,共有15辆拖车和50辆汽车参与其中。

The Santee Fire Service District said 15 tractor-trailers and 50 cars were involved in a pileup around 9 a.m., which occurred at I-95’s 100-mile marker, according to a social media post by Clarendon County Fire Rescue.

事故中有四人被困,至少一人被送往医院救治;该部门还为至少11名轻伤者提供了医疗救助。事故原因是大雾导致能见度极低。

There were four entrapments and at least one person was medevaced to a hospital; the district treated at least 11 people with minor injuries. So far, no fatalities have been reported.

社交媒体上的视频显示,数十辆车辆(包括拖车、卡车和汽车)在连接克拉伦登县和奥兰治堡县的马里恩湖大桥上严重损毁。

The cause of the pileup was heavy, dense fog, the district said. Videos on social media show dozens of vehicles — tractor-trailers, trucks and cars — crumpled on a bridge over Lake Marion that connects Clarendon and Orangeburg Counties.

最初两条车道都被封闭,但北行车道在中午12点30分左右重新开放。

Both lanes of traffic were initially closed, but the northbound lanes reopened around 12:30 p.m.

包括南卡罗来纳州公路巡逻队和交通部门在内的多个州级机构都赶到了现场。公路官员表示,清理事故现场并恢复交通需要‘较长时间’。

Multiple state agencies, including the South Carolina Highway Patrol and the Department of Transportation, were on the scene. Highway officials said they expected it would take “an extended period of time” to clear the bridge and reopen traffic.

在事故发生前,公路部门已就该地区的大雾天气发出警告,提醒司机减速并保持安全车距。

Before the crash, highway officials had warned of heavy fog in the area, with low visibility, and cautioned drivers to slow down and increase following distance.
