I-85 tops list of the Upstate's most dangerous roads

Hundreds of crashes happen on Upstate roads every year, but a handful of highways account for a disproportionate number of serious wrecks and fatalities. An analysis of crash data identifies the two most dangerous roads in each Upstate county. In 2026, there have been 464 fatal crashes on South Carolina roadways, and 89 have occurred in the Upstate, according to the State Department of Public Safety . The rankings are based on preliminary 2026 crash data from the South Carolina Department of Public Safety and include the roadways with the highest numbers of total collisions, fatal collisions, and severe injury collisions in each county. The data also shows that heavily traveled U.S. highways continue to experience large numbers of crashes, while several state highways remain among the most dangerous roads for motorists despite carrying lower traffic volumes than the interstate. Here are the most dangerous roads in Anderson , Greenville and Spartanburg counties. A regional pattern Interstate 85 appeared on every county's list, reflecting the risks that accompany one of South Carolina's busiest transportation corridors. The interstate connects Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina, and serves commuters, long-haul truck drivers and vacation traffic, making it one of South Carolina's busiest highways.
