COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– A record number of travelers are hitting the road home this July 4th.

According to Triple-A more than 630,000 South Carolinians were expected to travel more than 50 miles between Saturday and Wednesday.

Experts say the increase in travelers is due to the lower gas prices, among the lowest in 12 years on Independence Day.
