Accident UPDATE

SC 28/the Blue Ridge Boulevard is a scene this morning of fog and flashing red and blue public safety vehicles that have responded to what’s believed to have been a two-car accident and multiple injuries around the 6 o’clock hour this morning.  The scene is the northbound 28 lanes in the vicinity of the turnoff to West Union Road, and all traffic headed north is being diverted.  From our earlier vantage point in the parking lot of Lowe’s Electric, we spotted a number of ambulances.  No other official details are available to us.  It’s expected that section of the highway will remain blocked as the response and the highway patrol accident investigation continue.
