All westbound lanes of I-20 are now open in DeKalb County after a serious crash, according to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center.

Multiple vehicles overturned in the wreck, which blocked the right lanes of the interstate past Panola Road for about two hours, the Traffic Center reported. While authorities investigated, traffic was only getting by in a left lane.

All lanes were reopened just before 2 p.m. There are still delays out of Lithonia as traffic recovers.
