We have waited for over an hour for a state trooper that manages this jurisdiction to come to a car accident. There is another set of people here that have an accident and we are in the same parking lot and they have waited over an hour and 1/2 for the state trooper. The dispatch lady only told us the trooper is coming but is at another accident down the road. Well I am glad no one is dying because they would be dead!! Do you only have one state trooper that can assist with an accident on the same road?? If that is true South Carolina needs to relook their position on highway patrols or get more funding so that troopers can assist with accidents when they happen!! This is ridiculous. I will be writing the state senator about this. No concern for humanity or the general public for that matter. They consider us minor. Why is it only one trooper that can come to a call?
I have had to call the highway patrol for two hit and runs in the passed 6 months and both times the police took over an hour and a half to call me to tell me they were en route. Terrible response times. I don’t know if they are short staffed or ill managed but it’s been an ongoing problem for sometime now!
Driving on route 26 toward a place for the solar eclipse and our tire went flat. Officer came by and protected us with his car. He also helped and basically changed the tire himself. Very helpful and polite. Absolute A+ experience and we made it to see the eclipse.
Over an hour on the side the road for hit and run not one trooper car has come by ..
