Fallen tree blocks Holbrook Campground Road in Cherokee County

A large tree has fallen across both lanes of Holbrook Campground Road, completely shutting it down near the 2250 block.

What’s Happening: The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office says the road is closed and drivers should stay away from the area. A photo taken at the scene shows the tree stretched across the full road during heavy rain, with power lines running close to where it fell.

What’s Important: With both lanes blocked, there is no way through in either direction.

The Path Forward: No timeline for reopening has been announced. Drivers should use an alternate route until further notice.

A banner below states: "THE PERFECT GRADUATION GIFT - A hilarious look at life that every graduate will love!" Gold confetti is scattered throughout the image.
