North Charleston, SC (July 13, 2025) — A tragic motorcycle crash claimed the life of one rider Saturday morning, forcing the closure of the Don Holt Bridge for several hours. The deadly incident happened around 9:10 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 526, where a commercial vehicle collided with a motorcycle, according to local authorities.
According to reports, officers with the North Charleston Police Department responded quickly to the scene, but the motorcyclist was pronounced dead on site. The collision led police to completely shut down I-526 at the bridge, turning vehicles around and redirecting drivers to the Virginia Avenue exit to ease the traffic backlog.
All lanes have since reopened as investigators continue to examine what caused the fatal crash. The identity of the motorcyclist has not yet been released, pending notification of next of kin.
