A vehicular mishap on County Line Road at the intersection with Combs Road caused major disruptions Thursday afternoon, prompting local authorities to shut down the roadway in all four directions. The Greenwood Fire Department took to social media, advising inhabitants of the gridlock and urging them to seek alternative paths. "There is a vehicle crash on County Line Road @ Combs Road. County Line Road is ⛔️BLOCKED⛔️ in all 4 directions! Seek an alternate route!" declared the post on Greenwood Fire Department's Facebook page.
The incident, which the Greenwood Police Department and IMPD News are actively investigating, first came to light when the department issued the traffic warning around 3 PM. Later updates from the fire department announced, still heavy from the earlier crash, that traffic had resumed, "The roadway is reopened. Traffic will still be heavy in the area!" This provided some relief to affected commuters hastily seeking alternates to their usual routes.
No official word on the cause of the crash or potential injuries has been released yet, leaving the events that precipitated the blockage a mystery to the public. The area around County Line Road is known for its heavy traffic, particularly during peak commuting hours, and it's no stranger to bottlenecks and occasional fender-benders.
