GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — The Gwinnett County Police Department is releasing photos of the ladder that they believe caused a six-vehicle accident that shut down I-85 northbound last month.
Officials are releasing photos of the ladder in hopes that someone can identify who it belongs to or how it ended up on the interstate.
The crash shut down the interstate near Beaver Ruin Road for over an hour on March 25th. According to the police report, the accident was started after a vehicle struck a ladder that was in the roadway. That vehicle lost control and swerved in front of other vehicles leading to five other vehicles becoming involved. Multiple people were transported to the hospital and one died from their injuries.
