Cherry Road near Catawba River bridge reopens; 3 hurt in Rock Hill wreck

Traffic was backed up for almost two hours Wednesday morning in Rock Hill and into York County after three people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash on North Cherry Road, south of the Catawba River Bridge, police and fire officials said.

No fatalities were reported, said Capt. Mark Bollinger of the Rock Hill Police Department. All lanes of the road re-opened around 10:30 a.m, Rock Hill police officials said.

The injured people were transported to Piedmont Medical Center, said Mark Simmons, Rock Hill Fire department deputy chief.

The incident happened before 9 a.m at the entrance to the Riverwalk area. Details on what caused the crash were unavailable.

Traffic was backed up in both directions, on both sides of the bridge. The crash site, south of the bridge, is in the city of Rock Hill, but U.S. 21 runs north into unincorporated York County and the Town of Fort Mill.

Rock Hill police, Rock Hill Fire Department and Piedmont EMS responded, said Simmons.
