MARIETTA, Ga. (WXIA) - Motorists were advised to avoid the northbound lanes of Interstate 75 at the Canton Road Connector Monday afternoon due to an overturned tractor-trailer.

The roadway was blocked briefly by crews working to remove the tractor-trailer. Marietta Police said none of the 9,000 pounds of propane on the truck leaked, and that the diesel fuel in the truck's gas tank was quickly mopped up.

One person had minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
