Morning rush hour hampered by crash, fire on I-985 northbound

By AccessWDUN Staff

The Georgia State Patrol said one person was hurt when a box truck caught fire after it was hit by a tractor trailer on I-985 northbound Wednesday morning.

Troopers said via email they are still investigating to find out why the tractor trailer veered off the roadway and hit the truck, which was parked in the right emergency lane north of Buford Drive.

The resulting crash and fire shut down all northbound lanes of I-985 for a time at the end of the morning rush.

Troopers did not release the identities of those involved.
