Lanes on a busy DeKalb County highway were blocked for two hours Friday after garbage truck wrecked and tipped on its side.
The westbound lanes of Lawrenceville Highway were closed about 6:30 a.m. when the truck overturned near the entrance to I-285. It was not clear how the vehicle crashed, but the driver was able to walk away unharmed, officers at the scene told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

A crane was brought in to upright the truck, and the lanes were reopened by 8:30 a.m.
