A tractor-trailer overturned on I-85 South near I-285 in DeKalb County on Tuesday night, injuring three people and blocking all lanes.
The tractor-trailer lost its load of plywood during the incident, which took place about 6:45 p.m., DeKalb police said. One person was seriously injured, while the other two suffered minor injuries, police spokesman Sgt. J.D. Spencer said.
It's unclear when the wreck will be cleared, allowing the interstate to reopen, Spencer said. As of 7:15 p.m., the Georgia Department of Transportation listed the expected clearance time as 10 p.m.
No information was available on what led up to the wreck or how many vehicles were involved.
The WSB 24-hour Traffic Center recommended Buford Highway and I-285 as alternates.
