Tractor Trailer Catches Fire on I-285 in Atlanta

According to the 11 Alive website, a tractor-trailer caught fire this morning (Tuesday, September 23) on the shoulder of Atlanta’s I-285 near I-85 around 6:00a.m. in DeKalb County. The westbound lanes of Interstate 285 near "Spaghetti Junction" were closed until approximately 10:30a.m. when all the debris was cleared. Although no injuries were reported, officials ensured that drivers whose vehicles were low on gas stayed off the roadway. Even side roads were reported to have experienced significant delays. The CBS 46 website reports that the tractor-trailer crashed and was a Tyson Foods truck hauling frozen chicken.
