TRAFFIC ADVISORY

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is reporting an incident on Highway 183 at Cedar Hill Church that is snarling traffic on 183 into Pickens.  The incident was reported at 10:45 this morning. Motorists near the scene tell WGOG that an 18-wheeler is on its side, blocking the road. It appears the truck driver may have been attempting a left turn onto 183 and overcompensated, flipping the rig. The site is not far from the Pickens Flea Market and Mt. Olivet Road and Six Mile Highway. The roadway is closed at this time, and motorists traveling from Walhalla to Pickens need to find an alternate route, perhaps by taking Lusk Road of 183 near Durham’s Auto. Stay with WGOG for updates.
