Trooper Jason Wilson says traffic on 74 headed westbound at US-34 is being diverted toward Route 150. Traffic can re-enter at the US-17 ramp near Woodhull.
Wilson says he expects the shut down to last until at least 4 or 5 p.m., while accident re-construction crews clean up the roadway. Authorities responded to the scene at approximately 12:03 this afternoon. Five vehicles were reportedly involved: two semis, and three cars.
The two deceased identities have not yet been released, but it has been confirmed that the two were each operating a vehicle involved.
No additional information has been released at this time. Authorities are continuing to investigate.
