# Greer Police Investigate After Body Found Near I-85 Exit 60

Greer police are investigating after officers found a deceased person along Interstate 85 near Exit 60, prompting a heavy law enforcement presence and traffic delays in the area. Officers were dispatched to the southbound lanes near Greer on Wednesday afternoon after receiving a report of a possibly deceased individual near the roadway.

Responding officers located one deceased person in the area, and the investigation remained in its early stages as crews worked the scene. Police said they could not release additional details, including the identity of the person found, while the case is actively being reviewed. Wednesday’s discovery came in at approximately 5:48 p.m., and it prompted officers to ask drivers moving through the Exit 60 corridor to slow down and use caution as personnel worked along the shoulder.

The stretch of I-85 near Greer is one of the busiest highway corridors in the Upstate, carrying commuter and freight traffic between Greenville and Spartanburg counties, and any incident along that route tends to draw a quick response given the volume of cars passing through during afternoon hours.

Greer police have not indicated a timeline for when more information might be released. Investigators are continuing to gather information at the scene and along the roadway as the review continues, and officials said the public would be updated as details become available. Residents who travel that section of interstate regularly may see continued police presence in the area as the investigation moves forward.
