A South Carolina Highway Patrol Officer was cited last Tuesday for driving too fast. Apparently, while the officer was travelling down Interstate 85, he hydroplaned on the wet road, flipping his vehicle over.
During the course of the accident, the Officer suffered minor injuries, was treated and then released from the Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. His injuries may have been more severe, had the officer not been wearing his seatbelt.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Department handled the investigation, as it was their police officer whom was involved. Luckily, there were no other vehicles involved in this single-car wreck.
