A fatal crash blocked multiple lanes of I-20 West through east Atlanta for a few hours early Friday.
The collision happened just before 4 a.m. near Moreland Avenue, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Multiple lanes were closed as authorities investigated.
An unoccupied utility truck was parked on the right shoulder of the interstate while employees were working on light fixtures, according to a preliminary investigation by Atlanta police. A white sedan then veered onto the shoulder and collided with the truck. The sedan careened back across the highway and hit a wall, eventually coming to rest in the left lane, police said.
The driver of the sedan was pronounced dead at the scene, police said, while the utility workers were not injured.
Channel 2 Action News said shortly after 7:30 a.m. that the crash was cleared and all lanes were back open.
The investigation continues.
