Rain Leads to Multiple Crashes Blocking Interstates in Metro Atlanta on Monday Morning

Multiple crashes have caused significant traffic disruptions on interstates around metro Atlanta early Monday due to rain showers. A collision on I-20 in Douglas County has halted eastbound traffic near Post Road, with detours advised at Liberty Road, while a jack-knifed tractor-trailer is blocking southbound lanes on I-85 in Gwinnett County near the Mall of Georgia. The Georgia Department of Transportation estimates that the scene on I-20 will be cleared by 10 a.m., although some lanes may reopen sooner, and alternate routes include U.S. 78 and Ga. 166.
