Multiple tractor trailer wrecks cause major backups during morning rush on I-285

There is no word yet on injuries.

ATLANTA — Multiple lanes of I-285 were shut down in both directions Monday morning due to two separate incidents involving tractor trailers.

One, carrying ice, was overturned on I-285 westbound at Roswell Road, leaving the interstate completely shut down. It reopened just before 9 a.m.

Meanwhile, on I-285 eastbound at Riverside Drive, only the two right lanes were open due to a 8-car pileup that also included a tractor trailer. Sandy Springs police said one car caught fire.

There were no serious injuries as a result of the two wrecks, police said.
