Two Oconee accidents block roads

A box tractor trailer truck left SC 24 near Townville this morning and overturned.  Scott Krein, director of Oconee Emergency Management, says because the truck carried “multiple chemicals”, some of which leaked, a contractor has been called to offload the transport and secure the wreckage.  But SC 24 traffic on the Oconee side remains detoured this afternoon.  Another roadblock occurred later near Seneca as the result of what Seneca Fire Department called a head-on accident.  A state patrol report indicates there were injuries at SC 188/the Keowee School Road at S. Cove Road.
