A crash involving two tractor-trailers and another vehicle led to a diesel spill that caused major delays on I-75 South through Clayton County early Tuesday.

The wreck happened on the interstate at Forest Parkway, or Exit 237, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. The area is just past the Perimeter.

Clayton police said one of the semitrucks overturned but did not say what caused the collision. No major injuries were reported.

All lanes were intermittently closed starting at about 4:30 a.m. At least one lane was getting by at times, and all lanes reopened by 7:30 a.m., the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center reported.
