ATLANTA — A truck overturned and blocked all southbound lanes of traffic on Interstate 285 causing a major traffic jam during the Monday morning rush.
It happened around 6:30 a.m. along the westside perimeter between Cascade Road and Langford Parkway. It was some sort of transfer truck.
The 11Alive SkyTracker showed a second truck that was also involved and has heavy damage to its cab.
Just before 8 a.m., two large wreckers were able to get the truck back in its upright position. By 8:30 a.m., they had the truck out of the way and traffic moving again in all but one lane.
Motorists were urged to avoid the westside perimeter if you need to go to the airport use downtown connector.
