What started as a calm evening in Science Hill turned into sheer chaos when a horrific multi-vehicle crash occurred around 5:30 PM near the traffic light by Hardee’s on northbound U.S. Route 27. Eyewitnesses say several vehicles were involved, and the scene quickly turned into one of devastation, metal carnage, and frantic emergency response.
“It looked like a war zone. Cars were piled up… people were crying and trying to help each other. It was terrifying,” one shaken witness told local reporters.
Emergency responders rushed to the scene, with Life Flight seen departing the local hospital and heading toward the crash site, suggesting that critical injuries may have been involved. Traffic was completely halted in both directions as first responders worked tirelessly to clear debris and administer aid.
Authorities have yet to confirm the number of victims, but early reports suggest multiple people may have been transported to nearby hospitals, with at least one person believed to be in critical condition.
Community members took to social media within minutes, urging others to avoid the area and sending out prayers for those affected.
“Please, if you’re reading this, pray for those involved. That crash was bad,” one Facebook user wrote in a now-viral post.
As of now, no official statement has been released regarding the cause of the crash. Investigators are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.
