Jasper County, SC (WLTX) - Tropical Depression Bonnie has caused a major traffic hazard on Interstate 95 in Jasper County, after the storm system dumped several inches of rain.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation says I-95 Southbound at the U.S. 17 exit, which is around mile marker 22, is blocked because of water on the road. Traffic is moving normally in the northbound lanes.
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety has set up a detour at exit 28. Several other roads in that immediate area were also shut down.
