I-75 south open after wreck creates backup for most of morning

The wreck was first reported just after 6 a.m.

ATLANTA — Only the HOV lane of I-75 southbound was open Friday morning as a box truck and multiple vehicles blocked most of the busy interstate.

The wreck was first reported just after 6 a.m., and was right before Central Avenue.

After a few hours the wreck was cleared and normal traffic resumed to its normal pace.

Georgia DOT cameras also showed several cars attempting to get around the wreck by driving in the emergency lane. However, it's important to remember that this is illegal.
