Tractor Trailer Truck Accident Causes Multiple Wrecks on I-85 in Atlanta

June 30, 2008 - Starting with a six-vehicle accident involving a tractor-trailer truck, a series of accidents occurred Saturday (June 28) on I-85 in Coweta County, bringing northbound traffic to a three-and-one-half-hour standstill. After the first accident, in which a tractor-trailer truck and five cars collided, frustrated drivers and passengers tried to avoid the lengthy delay by crossing over to southbound lanes, resulting in smaller accidents. Others got out of their vehicles and tried to cross the median on foot (illegally), causing even more crashes. Three additional accidents were caused when cars approached the stalled traffic from the six-vehicle wreck at a rapid speed.

Although the total number of accidents and injuries were unknown on Saturday due to separate posts handling different crashes and paperwork being incomplete, at least three people were taken by helicopter to hospitals in Atlanta (Grady Memorial, Scottish Rite, and Atlanta Medical Center).
