FLORENCE COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Two pedestrians were killed and multiple other people were injured after a four-vehicle crash in Florence County Tuesday afternoon.
According to South Carolina Highway Patrol, a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling west on US 76 around 12:30 p.m. when the Tahoe struck the back of a 2012 Honda Civic when changing lanes.
