MARCH 30, 2017 Motorists pass by a colossal fire that caused the collapse of I-85 in Midtown at the height of rush hour Thursday evening, stranding thousands of motorists and shuttering a main gateway to the heart of Atlanta indefinitely.
The northbound lanes of I-85 collapsed at Piedmont Road, just south of Ga. 400, about 7 p.m. as firefighters battled an intense blaze beneath the interstate. Authorities said they did not know the cause of the fire Ð but the Georgia State Patrol said there was no evidence of a terrorist attack. Courtesy Jackson Klinefelter
