50 people injured, 8 taken to hospital, after two tour buses collide, trying to avoid debris on I-20, near Camden in Kershaw County.

Two charter buses carrying a total of nearly 100 people collided this morning on I-20 in Kershaw County, just past White Pond Road.

As many as 50 people were hurt, eight of whom were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, in the crash that happened around 9 a.m. not far from today’s Carolina Cup in Camden. Lane blockage is expected to severely impact traffic to that event for some time.

According to troopers, one of the buses swerved to avoid a couch that was in the road. The second bus also moved to avoid the object, but ran into the back of the first bus.
