YORK COUNTY, S.C. — Part of a York County road was shut down Saturday after a tree fell and took power lines down with it.
The York County Sheriff's Office shared details on Facebook around 4 p.m. along with photos. The tree fell onto Charlotte Highway near the intersection with North Shiloh Road.
One of the photos taken by deputies showed the tree narrowly missed a Nissan SUV, landing just behind the car.
The roadway was still blocked around 6 p.m., but deputies said new power lines were being installed by crews as work to remove the tree went on.
It wasn't immediately clear how many residents lost power.
