Northbound traffic on I-85 through Spaghetti Junction in DeKalb County is recovering hours after a multi-vehicle crash Thursday morning.
The collision was reported just before 6 a.m. at Pleasantdale Road just past the Perimeter, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Only three lanes — and at times just two — were getting by since 8 a.m. until the debris was cleared to the shoulder around noon.
Three people were injured, DeKalb fire officials confirmed. The extent of their injuries is not clear.
The crash involved a truck that was carrying propane tanks, authorities said. Hazmat crews were at the scene to clean up propane that had leaked onto the road.

No additional information about the wreck has been released by police.
