HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) -- Horry County first responders and bystanders rescued a woman from a car that went off Highway 17 Bypass Tuesday afternoon and became partially submerged in a pond.

The rescue unfolded at about 2:45 p.m. near South Commons Drive. The woman and two bystanders who assisted in the rescue were evaluated by medics but no one was taken to the hospital, according to Horry County Fire Rescue.

The incident, which also involved another crash, blocked lanes of Highway 17 Bypass while crews worked in the area, HCFR said. No one was hurt in the crash.

An HCFR dive team assisted by hooking up a line to the woman's car so it could be pulled out of the water by a tow truck. The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating.
