MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - Authorities closed down lanes for a couple of hours on Highway 17 Bypass after a tractor-trailer jackknifed on the busy road.

The accident happened Tuesday afternoon in front of Coastal Grand Mall.

Two of the right lanes were closed off while crews worked to remove the jackknifed tractor-trailer.

As of 4:15 p.m., all lanes have reopened and the big rig has been moved from the scene.

A WMBF News crew took pictures of the tractor-trailer showing the cab folded in on itself.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department said no one was hurt in the accident.
