Car leaves 188 at curve

An accident late last night in the Bountyland Community of Seneca temporarily closed a rail line and stopped traffic on South Carolina 188 near the traffic light intersection. According to information received by 96.3/WGOG NEWS, a car failed to make the curve on 188 approaching the traffic lights and struck a glancing blow to the railroad sign and then spun into an electric power pole. The driver was sent by ambulance to a Greenville hospital and a Seneca electric power crew was required to replace the power pole.
