TRAFFIC UPDATE: Crews clear crashes, but metro Atlanta traffic still snarled

Multiple crashes have caused traffic headaches on interstates around metro Atlanta early Monday as rain showers trailed across the region.

One of the latest collisions blocked lanes on I-85 South in Gwinnett County near the Mall of Georgia. Traffic started moving again just before 9 a.m.

That incident involved a jack-knifed tractor-trailer that closed the southbound lanes at I-985.

An earlier crash had I-20’s eastbound traffic at a halt in Douglas County for more than four hours. It happened at Post Road near Villa Rica around 3:15 a.m., according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Lanes had reopened shortly before 8:30 a.m. Officials have not released details about either incident.
