3 ejected in serious Clayton County crash on I-75 South

Three people were ejected from a vehicle in a three-car crash on I-75 South in Clayton County on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The crash took place just before 4 p.m. near the exit to Mt. Zion Boulevard and shut down several lanes of the busy interstate, Clayton police spokeswoman Sgt. Julia Isaac confirmed. The far-right lane and the exit ramp remained blocked more than two hours as police investigated the wreck.

All southbound lanes reopened shortly before 6:30 p.m., according to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center.
