The crash impacted eastbound and westbound traffic at Bouldercrest Road.

A tractor-trailer crashed into a median wall on I-285 in DeKalb County on Friday morning and blocked traffic in both directions.

Westbound traffic started moving again about 10:45 a.m., according to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center. Eastbound lanes reopened just after 11 a.m.

WSB traffic reporter Ashley Frasca said the big rig hit the wall at Bouldercrest Road, sending concrete flying into traffic headed in the other direction.

“Only minor injuries reported,” DeKalb police spokesman J.D. Spencer said.
