A four-vehicle wreck left one person injured Wednesday morning and blocked multiple lanes of I-285 East for several hours.
Sandy Springs police said the crash, which was near the Roswell Road exit, involved a tractor-trailer and three cars. The person who was injured is expected to survive, police said. No other details about the cause of the crash were released.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, the collision occurred around 6:45 a.m., and three of five lanes were blocked. All lanes reopened by 10:40 a.m.
Shortly before 9 a.m., a white Nissan could be seen on its side with its windshield shattered and its roof pried open. Some of its passengers’ belongings were spilling onto the pavement, including what appeared to be a turquoise and purple backpack, some clothing and a piece of a red sheer polka dot ribbon.
The line of backed-up traffic stretched for a long distance most of Wednesday morning as crews worked to investigate the crash and clear the scene.
