Crash closes westbound lanes of I-20 near connector
A crash has closed two-thirds of the westbound lanes of Interstate 20 approaching downtown Atlanta.
A vehicle may have overturned, according to an operator at the Georgia Department of Transportation's 511 center. Four of six lanes -- two of them exit lanes -- were closed between the exits for Boulevard and Hill Street, the operator said just before 5 p.m. The operator said the crash may have involved a recreational vehicle.
But according to Atlanta police, the crash involved an 18 wheeler carrying a home. A police spokesman said the truck lost its load and overturned. No injuries were reported.
