All lanes reopened after 10-car pileup on I-85
All lanes on Interstate 85 are back open after a 10-car crash shut down part of the road for more than three hours Thursday morning. State troopers were called to the scene around 8 a.m. on I-85 north near Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road in Gwinnett County.
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Traffic is flowing once again along Interstate 85 northbound in Gwinnett County after a major crash kept traffic at a stand still for hours.
The wreck happened around 8 a.m. near SR 317, L'vill-Suwanee Road.
According to Georgia State Patrol, at least 10 vehicles were involved in the crash. One of the vehicles was a tractor trailer. When troopers arrived, they say they found two vehicles overturned. One driver had to be freed from the wreckage by Gwinnett Fire. That driver suffered a serious head injury and has been transported to Northside Gwinnett hospital in critical condition, according to GSP.
Officials say at least three other drivers suffered injuries.
GSP has set up a detour from I-85 northbound onto Old Peachtree Road and Sugarloaf Parkway.
All six lanes on the northbound side were blocked. Traffic began slowing moving once again around 11:24 a.m. before eventually returning to normal.
