Gwinnett police investigate deadly wrong-way crash
Gwinnett County police are investigating a deadly wrong-way crash on I-85 south near Jimmy Carter Boulevard that shut down the interstate for hours.
Police released few details about the accident, which occurred just before 3:30 a.m.
One person was killed in the crash, Cpl. Michele Pihera told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Though all lanes reopened about 5:50 a.m., the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center reported trip times of 45 minutes or more on I-85 south between Ga. 316 and I-285 just after 6 a.m.
Up to about 45 minutes now, but all lanes are open along I-85/sb between Hwy. 316 and I-285. Updates every 6 mins. @wsbradio https://t.co/gqNnaw2wsG
