Traffic flow is resuming after crashes across metro Atlanta caused major backups at the start of the Tuesday morning commute.

In Henry County, I-75 is back open after a crash closed all northbound lanes just south of Ga. 155 between Locust Grove and McDonough. That collision was reported around 5:15 a.m., according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Lanes reopened around 7:45 a.m.

NewsChopper 2 flew over the scene around 6:30 a.m., showing a vehicle had left the road and crashed well into the tree line.

Police have not shared the extent of any injuries.

In Cobb County, a fatal crash had both directions of South Cobb Drive closed for several hours starting just before 4 a.m. It was located at South Cobb Industrial Boulevard between the East-West Connector and I-285.

Smyrna police told Channel 2 Action News that at least one person died in the collision. No other details have been released.
