Overturned vehicle snarls Downtown Connector at MLK Jr. Drive

A major accident involving an overturned vehicle snarled traffic on the southbound Downtown Connector on Friday afternoon.

A person reportedly was ejected during the accident. Emergency vehicles were blocking six lanes at the Grady curve at Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, with only the HOV and one right lane open.

Motorists should avoid the Downtown Connector and use alternate routes to avoid extreme delays.
