“Town police and fire personnel responded and assisted people out of the water,” confirmed Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie, per WCSC-TV. “All appear accounted for.”
One of the partygoers, Taylor Grooms, told the station that guests were celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday on Saturday night. Just before the incident, many of the partygoers were lined up on the dock for a photo when they heard the “loud crack,” Grooms said.
“And then everyone was just in the water.”
