All lanes are open after a person was killed in a tractor-trailer crash on I-20 West in Fulton County.

For several hours, traffic was diverted to Fulton Industrial Boulevard and then back onto I-20 West away from the accident scene, Fulton police spokeswoman Patrena Smith said.

Drivers can still use U.S. 78 as an alternate, according to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center.

Details about the crash have not been released.
