Dashcam captures loaded logging truck near-miss on Heritage Highway in Bamberg County

Heritage Highway (U.S. 78) in Bamberg County was the setting for a close call caught on a dashboard camera, a clip published on Feb. 19, 2026 by a regional driving-video and road-safety site after the footage was originally shared on Reddit. The video shows a loaded logging truck and a near-miss on the stretch of U.S. 78 that serves local traffic between Bamberg and neighboring communities.

The dashcam clip, embedded in the Feb. 19 item, documents the event from the perspective of a motorist traveling on Heritage Highway. The original Reddit post and the regional site's embedding gave the clip additional circulation beyond the local Reddit thread, putting the incident in front of drivers and road-safety observers across the region.

Logging trucks are common carriers on U.S. 78 corridors used for timber transport; the footage specifically captures a loaded logging truck in a situation that resulted in a near-miss rather than a collision. That distinction is visible in the dashcam angles and timing as shown in the embedded video posted on Feb. 19, 2026, which leaves open questions about visibility, roadside geometry and how heavy vehicles are negotiating Heritage Highway through Bamberg County.

The clip’s publication on Feb. 19 prompted attention from drivers who use Heritage Highway and from road-safety watchers who follow the regional driving-video site’s postings. By moving from a Reddit share to a wider-hosted video item, the footage reached audiences who track transportation safety on U.S. 78, where logging, commercial traffic and local commuters intersect.

For Bamberg County officials and agencies responsible for roadway safety, the Feb. 19 video provides an identifiable example on Heritage Highway that can be reviewed for operational detail. The embedded dashcam footage documents the loaded logging truck near-miss in a way that county traffic planners, state highway engineers and the Bamberg County community can examine to assess whether changes to signage, turning radii or enforcement might reduce similar incidents along U.S. 78.
