GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A prisoner transport bus overturned on I-85 southbound past Sugarloaf Parkway Tuesday morning, according to Gwinnett County police dispatch.

The inmates were transferred to a different vehicle. One inmate was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

Traffic officials are also working on another wreck involving an overturned vehicle at Hamilton Mill near Highway 124. The incident is just south of I-85. Delays are also expected in the area.
