Three pedestrian crashes in Florida and South Carolina left people critically or seriously hurt and blocked roads and rail lines. In Conway, South Carolina, a pedestrian was critically injured Wednesday night at Highway 544 and Singleton Ridge Road. Lanes outside town were blocked while multiple agencies investigated. The wreck joins a recent string of pedestrian collisions on the busy corridor near Coastal Carolina University, including a fatal crash in August. In Ocala, Florida, a semi-truck seriously injured a pedestrian and closed westbound NW Blitchton Road during the probe. Thursday morning a separate train strike blocked several railroad crossings, and police told drivers to take other routes. Names, causes, and final outcomes were not reported.
