Myrtle Beach, SC — Three Hurt in Two-Vehicle Crash Near Robert Grissom Pkwy & Hwy 31

Myrtle Beach, SC (February 25, 2026) — Emergency responders were on the scene of a serious two-vehicle crash on Tuesday, February 24, that shut down traffic at one of the area’s busiest interchanges. Horry County Fire Rescue was dispatched at 7:50 p.m. to the interchange of Robert Grissom Parkway and Highway 31.

The collision occurred near the on-ramp from Robert Grissom Parkway leading onto Highway 31 North. According to fire officials, three people sustained injuries and were transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment. Their current conditions have not been disclosed.

The Horry County Police Department assisted with traffic control, as the wreckage blocked access to the on-ramp for a significant period. The South Carolina Highway Patrol has taken the lead on the investigation to determine the cause of the crash.

We hope everyone affected by this accident makes a full and swift recovery.

Compensation Victims Can Recover After a Car Crash in Myrtle Beach

Economic damages are the measurable financial costs resulting from a crash. This includes the bill for the ambulance transport and the subsequent emergency room care at the hospital. If the injuries to the three victims require surgery, physical therapy, or follow-up specialist visits, those costs are fully recoverable.

Furthermore, if the victims are unable to return to work during their recovery, they can seek compensation for lost wages and the loss of future earning capacity if their injuries result in a permanent disability.

South Carolina follows a "comparative negligence" rule, which is key in a two-vehicle crash at a merge point. This rule allows a victim to recover damages as long as they were not more than 50% responsible for the accident.

For example, if the Highway Patrol determines that one driver was merging too quickly but the other driver was distracted, the court will assign a percentage of fault to each.

A victim’s total compensation will be reduced by their percentage of fault, but they can still receive a partial recovery to help with their medical bills and vehicle repairs.

Finally, because this crash involved three injured parties, the "per-person" and "per-accident" limits of the at-fault driver’s insurance policy will be closely examined. If the total damages for all three people exceed the driver’s policy limits, victims may need to look toward their own "Underinsured Motorist" (UIM) coverage.

This ensures that even in a multi-victim accident at a busy interchange, there is a pathway to receive the full support needed for a complete recovery.
