Two people were arrested Wednesday following a police chase that blocked the eastbound lanes of I-285 in Clayton County for more than hour.
Authorities said the chase began when a driver went through a road check, refused to stop and nearly hit several officers. The pursuit ended near Jonesboro Road.
“No report of injuries,” police told Channel 2 Action News in an emailed statement. “This is an ongoing investigation and no further information is available.”
The interstate reopened about 2:45 p.m after the suspects were taken into custody, police said.
Details about the suspects and the charges they are facing have not been released.
**UPDATE** Police activity cleared. All lanes back open. Tough delays remain. https://t.co/oChLshdbT4 #ATLtraffic https://t.co/d21biV1mrY
