A 16-car wreck has shut down Interstate 20 East near Fulton Industrial Boulevard, the Georgia Department of Transportation reports.

Lanes were also blocked on I-285 South before Cascade Road with multiple fire and emergency crews on the scene. But they have since reopened.

Ten people, including a 6-month-old,  were taken to a nearby hospital for injuries related to the I-20 wrecks . None of the injuries are believed to be serious.
