I-85 re-opened after crash

Police have re-opened I-85 in Fulton County.

Police closed all northbound lanes between Flat Shoals Road and I-285 for about an hour and a half Monday afternoon while they cleared a wreck, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

A van was driving north when it struck the median and overturned, Fulton County Police spokeswoman Detective Melissa Parker said. Another car also crashed into the wall.

The van driver suffered a head injury, but his injuries are not life-threatening, Parker said.
