All lanes of I-75 southbound in Butts County have reopened, about 10 hours after a tractor-trailer loaded with pumpkins overturned and blocked the interstate between Atlanta and Macon.

The truck overturned around 1 a.m. between exits 205 and 201 near Jackson.

There were no immediate reports of serious injuries.

All southbound lanes were blocked until just before 6 a.m., when authorities opened one of the three lanes.

The remaining lanes were reopened about 11 a.m.
