Potentially fatal six car pile-up in east Georgia hinders I-85 traffic

First responders report at least one fatality in a major pile-up on I-85 in Jackson County.

JEFFERSON, Ga. -- A six-car accident in northeast Georgia could leave a major interstate blocked for several hours.

First responders report at least one fatality in a major pile-up on I-85 in Jackson County.

The accident was reported Friday evening but the Georgia Department of Transportation initially had no details on how long the southbound lanes would be blocked. They later provided early estimates suggesting that it may be passable again by 12:30 a.m.

In any case, motorists in the area are being asked to either avoid the portion of I-85 at exit 147 or make extra time for travel delays.
