At least two people were injured and taken to Grady Hospital on Tuesday morning after a five-car wreck on I-85 northbound.
The early morning wreck caused major delays during the morning commute.
The Georgia State Patrol later said the incident was caused by one crash, between a Mercedes and Jeep Grand Cherokee, and then a second crash, in which a Toyota Corolla struck the stopped Mercedes.
That second crash pushed the Mercedes into the path of a tractor-trailer, and the Toyota lost control and went into the path of a GMC Sierra.
The drivers of the Mercedes and Toyota sustained non-life-threatening injuries, GSP said.
Authorities said there are charges pending against those two individuals.
There were four to five miles of backup to Union City as cars crawled through a single open left lane following the wreck.
