The WSB 24-hour Traffic Center first reported the crash at 8:46 a.m.

At one point, only one northbound lane was moving.

Just after 10:30 a.m., the Traffic Center reported the crash had been moved to the right shoulder.

No one was injured in the crash, DeKalb County Fire Department spokesman Captain Eric Jackson said.
