The northbound lanes of I-675 in Clayton County have reopened after being blocked for a couple of hours by an overturned tractor-trailer.

The truck, which was hauling dry goods, flipped onto its side around 5 a.m. on I-675 at Anvil Block Road, blocking all northbound lanes of the interstate.

Police on the scene said the truck’s driver sustained minor injuries.

Authorities detoured traffic off I-675 onto the Anvil Block Road exit, then back onto the interstate from the Anvil Block entrance ramp.

All lanes were reopened just after 7 a.m.
