Rollover crashes on Langford Parkway, I-20 delay morning commute
Rollover crashes on either side of metro Atlanta caused early delays for commuters Friday morning.
On the Westside, a vehicle crashed into a power pole and overturned on Langford Parkway just before Stanton Road around 4:30 a.m. The collision closed all westbound lanes of the highway in East Point, according to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center. Traffic was diverted onto U.S. 29, which minimized delays until lanes reopened around 7 a.m.
The Eastside crash happened shortly after 6 a.m. on I-20 East just past Sigman Road in Conyers, the Georgia Department of Transportation reported. Traffic cameras showed a vehicle overturned on its roof in the middle of the interstate. Delays stretched back to Turner Hill Road until the wreck cleared around 8:30 a.m.
Police have not released any details about what caused either crash or the status of those involved.
