Columbia, SC Oct 1 2018
An armored truck containing two security officers crashed over a bridge and down an embankment of Interstate 77 near mile marker 5 in a single-vehicle crash Saturday afternoon.
Traffic was backed up along this area Interstate 77 southbound for quite some time as fire and rescue personnel worked to extricate them from the vehicle.
According to Trooper David Jones with SC Highway Patrol, the two people inside the truck at the time of the crash were transported by EMS and treated for minor injuries.
The driver has been charged with too fast for conditions.
The Columbia Fire Department says its HAZMAT teams were called to the scene for cleanup after diesel fuel began leaking from the truck.
