Fatal jumper on I-85 during rush hour

Atlanta police say a fatal jumper was the cause of a massive traffic jam on I-85 north at Peachtree Street that blocked three lanes during rush hour Friday evening.

Traffic backed up for miles, but by 7:45 p.m. police had cleared the lanes.

A man apparently jumped off a bridge, according to investigator Laura Salm with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office. He was not carrying identification, she said Friday night, and investigators were trying to identify him.
