Drivers on I-20 are having an easier commute now after an earlier six-car crash Monday morning caused delays and sent two people to the hospital.

The accident occurred just before Wesley Chapel Road about 11:30 a.m., DeKalb County police spokesman Maj. Stephen Fore said.

Two people sustained minor injuries, Fore said. One was taken to DeKalb Medical Center at Hillandale and the other was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.

“All lanes were blocked while they were clearing the roadway,” Fore said.
