The roadway reopened shortly before 5:40 a.m., according to police.
That stretch of Ga. 400 didn’t remain open for long, since a second crash temporarily blocked all southbound lanes inside the Perimeter, according to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center. The incident happened in a construction zone below the Glenridge Connector.
All lanes reopened by 6:50 a.m. Police have not released any other details on the second crash.
