WATCH: Tractor-trailer jackknifes, flips after colliding with car on I-85 in Gwinnett

Georgia Department of Transporation said the 18-wheeler slid roughly 500 feet into the right lanes just before exit 104.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A scary situation unfolded Saturday evening on a busy metro Atlanta interstate.

At around 6:10 p.m. on Interstate 85 south in Gwinnett County, a tractor-trailer and a pickup truck collided with each other underneath the Boggs Road overpass while driving in the far left lanes.

The Boggs Road overpass is right near the exit to State Route 316.

Video shows the tractor-trailer come under the bridge and immediately jackknife before the cab of the truck flips over too. What appears to be a sedan is then hit by the rig and spins out all over the interstate before traffic slows down.

Georgia Department of Transporation said the 18-wheeler slid roughly 500 feet into the right lanes just before exit 104. They sent 11Alive the following video of the crash:
