SPARTANBURG COUNTY, SC — Five people lost their lives Saturday night in Inman as a result of a multi-vehicle crash involving a car hauler, according to WTOK.
The accident happened on a stretch of Interstate 26 near mile marker 12, just south of Calvery Road. It was first reported some time before 9;30 p.m.
