BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Video of vehicles driving illegally on a road in Goose Creek after backups near a school has gone viral on social media.
A stretch of Henry Brown Boulevard only has one traffic lane in each direction as you approach the Mevers School of Excellence. Several vehicles waiting to get into the school on Wednesday caused the roadway to back up. A few frustrated drivers decided to make their way around the crowd.
A video that was shared with counton2.com shows a pickup truck driving onto a grassy median and down the side of the road near a bike path to get around the traffic. At the same time, another vehicle rushed in headed down the opposite side of the road as oncoming traffic approached.
The vehicle waited for that oncoming traffic to move over so they could squeeze between the two lanes of traffic.
“I’ve driven through there a good many times- and I drive through there on my way to school in the mornings… until this year… and I went to a different school this year just because of that traffic,” said JohnJoe Salazar, who drives through the area regularly.
