Longs, SC (June 11, 2026) – A two-vehicle crash that left one vehicle overturned was reported late on Thursday night on Highway 90 at Kindred Spirits Drive, in the Longs community area of Horry County. Emergency units were dispatched to the scene at 11:33 p.m.
Two people were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries following the accident. Drivers were advised to avoid the stretch of road to prevent delays and for the safety of those present, since lanes of traffic were blocked at the time of the report as emergency units worked the area.
No names or ages were included in the initial report on the collision. The cause of the crash remains under active review, and further details are expected as the inquiry moves forward.
Our thoughts go out to those hurt, and we hope they are on the mend soon.
What Typically Happens After a Rollover Crash on a South Carolina Highway
Rollover crashes are among the more serious types of road collisions, even when the injuries involved are not life-threatening. When a vehicle overturns, it creates an unstable scene that requires careful handling: emergency units must assess the vehicle’s position, secure the area, and make sure no one is trapped before moving on to other steps. The presence of a second vehicle adds to the complexity of the response.
In South Carolina, highway crashes that block travel lanes are typically managed with traffic control measures put in place quickly to reduce the risk of secondary collisions. Drivers approaching an active crash site, even one partially cleared, face reduced visibility and unexpected slowdowns, which is why advisories to avoid the area are issued early. Night-time crashes carry added risk since low lighting can make it harder for approaching drivers to see what lies ahead.
Injuries from rollovers can sometimes present as minor at first but worsen in the hours that follow, which is why hospital evaluation is standard practice even when the harm appears limited.
