All lanes are open again after an overturned tractor-trailer blocked I-75 South at I-675 in Henry County on Monday morning.

No one was hurt in the accident that Henry County fire spokesman Capt. Mike Black called weather related.

The big rig overturned about 10:30 a.m. just before Exit 228, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Black said the first wave of severe weather came through the area about 30 minutes before the tractor-trailer overturned and the driver lost control.

GDOT cleared the wreck about 3 p.m. and traffic delays quickly eased.
