Camper crash causes major headaches on Downtown Connector
All lanes of I-85 North reopened Thursday after a camper trailer crashed at the point where the Downtown Connector splits in Midtown.
The wreck caused all traffic on the northbound Connector to be temporarily redirected onto I-75 North on Thursday afternoon.
Video from the scene showed the trailer overturned in the shadow of the 17th Street bridge. The crash involved four vehicles and resulted in only minor injuries, Atlanta Fire and Rescue said.
A video from the scene showed a white SUV that crashed down an embankment of the left shoulder of I-85 toward the I-75 North HOV exit.
