Horry County, SC (October 15, 2025) – Emergency crews responded Thursday evening to a three-vehicle car accident that left one person injured in the Burgess area of Horry County. The crash occurred around 5:47 p.m. on Highway 707 near Gold Place Lane, prompting a large response from Horry County Fire Rescue and local law enforcement.

Authorities reported that one individual sustained injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The extent of their injuries has not been disclosed. Emergency personnel closed multiple lanes on Highway 707 as crews worked to assist those involved, clear the vehicles, and manage traffic flow in the area.

Photos from the scene showed significant congestion along the busy stretch of Highway 707, a heavily traveled route connecting neighborhoods, local businesses, and schools in southern Horry County. Fire and rescue teams remained on site for several hours while investigators from the South Carolina Highway Patrol began examining the circumstances leading up to the crash.

The cause of the accident has not yet been confirmed, though investigators are reviewing evidence to determine whether speed, distraction, or following too closely may have played a role. Highway 707 is known for heavy commuter traffic during evening hours, and even minor driver inattention can quickly result in serious collisions.

We wish the victim and everyone involved a speedy recovery.

Understanding Multi-Vehicle Crashes in South Carolina.

Multi-vehicle crashes, like the one that occurred on Highway 707, are among the most dangerous types of road accidents. With multiple vehicles involved, these collisions can quickly escalate, leading to severe injuries and complex liability issues. According to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, multi-vehicle accidents often occur during high traffic periods when driver visibility and reaction times are limited.

Common causes of three-car and chain reaction crashes include:

• Distracted driving or texting behind the wheel

• Tailgating or failing to maintain a safe distance

• Sudden braking by one vehicle

• Unsafe lane changes or merging

• Speeding in congested areas

Determining fault in these crashes often requires detailed investigation and careful review of police reports, witness statements, and available traffic camera footage. In many cases, multiple drivers share some degree of responsibility, making it essential for victims to seek legal guidance when pursuing compensation.
