The crash caused temporary disruptions along the highway as troopers secured the area and began documenting the scene. Investigators are now working to determine what led to the loss of control, examining factors such as road conditions, speed, and possible mechanical issues, though no specific cause has been confirmed.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol has stated that the investigation remains active. Troopers are expected to review evidence, speak with any potential witnesses, and reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the crash.

Authorities are asking anyone who may have been traveling through the area at the time to come forward with information that could assist in the investigation.
