A seven-vehicle crash caused delays for hours on I-85 South in Fairburn. Two people were seriously injured.

More than three hours after a seven-vehicle crash shut down I-85 South at Senoia Road Wednesday morning, the interstate is back open, Fairburn interim police Chief Anthony Bazydlo said.

The crash, which occurred shortly before 8 a.m., forced the Georgia Department of Transportation to divert southbound traffic onto Jonesboro Road — about 3 miles before crash site, the Traffic Center reported.

Two people were seriously injured in the accident, Bazydlo said.

No other details were released.

The Georgia State Patrol is investigating.
