Liberty, SC (August 22, 2026) – Emergency crews responded Saturday, August 22, to a multi-vehicle collision involving entrapment along Highway 123 Northbound. The crash occurred between Black Bottom Road and Ruhamah Road.
According to authorities, the impact trapped at least one occupant inside a vehicle.
Paramedics rendered advanced life support on scene while additional emergency crews coordinated a medical helicopter landing zone nearby for an emergency medical chopper.
South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers are continuing to investigate the causes of the collision.
Our thoughts remain with the injured victims as they recover.
Following a serious traffic collision in South Carolina, state statutes establish a clear legal framework governing liability determination, statutory financial responsibilities, and procedural deadlines for pursuing personal injury claims.
South Carolina operates under a modified comparative negligence framework. An injured party is entitled to recover monetary damages provided their proportion of fault for the accident does not exceed 50 percent.
When responsibility is shared among multiple drivers, any financial compensation awarded is reduced proportionally by the plaintiff's assigned percentage of fault. Individuals determined to be 51 percent or more responsible for the collision are legally barred from recovering damages from other involved parties.
South Carolina mandatory insurance laws also play a crucial role in post-crash recovery. All motor vehicle owners operating on public roadways must maintain liability coverage with statutory minimum limits of $25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 for total bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. In addition, drivers must maintain uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to protect against hit-and-run drivers or motorists operating without insurance.
Finally, South Carolina law enforces strict procedural timeframes for taking legal action. The general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the incident. Failing to file formal legal proceedings within this window forfeits the right to pursue recovery.
