Authorities have confirmed that one person was killed in the collision, WSPA has reported, and that this resulted in the road being closed while emergency services responded to the crash.
The deceased has not been identified. It has been reported that they had been on foot when the collision happened, and had stepped out of their car, when they were allegedly struck by a Toyota sedan.
South Carolina Highway patrol has said that they had been involved in a single vehicle crash which had previously happened, and had exited their vehicle when they were hit.
They were subsequently pronounced dead at the scene.
Following the collision on the I-26 road, all lanes were blocked on the eastbound side of the road, the South Carolina Highway Patrol said.
This continued for around eight and a half hours after the collision while police dealt with the emergency, before all lanes on the road were allowed to reopen at around 10:30 in the morning.

The tour is underway to support the release of the new album, the band’s eleventh, called Road Like Thunder, which was released back in June 2025. The tour is scheduled to continue until September 6 with a date in Orlando.
The next date on the tour is at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale in Florida on Saturday August 22. It is expected that the performance will ‘proceed as planned’. No other changes to the band’s tour schedule have been made following the incident.
