Earlier this morning, a Williamston Police Department School Resource Officer Lieutenant was struck by a vehicle while directing traffic in front of Palmetto Schools on Hamilton Street. Fortunately, the officer sustained minor injuries and was treated and released from Pelzer Urgent Care Center.
The driver of the vehicle was cited and released at the scene.
This incident serves as an important reminder of the dangers officers face while directing traffic and working in school zones each day. We urge all motorists to slow down, remain alert, and use extra caution when traveling through school zones to help keep our students, staff, and first responders safe.
