ATLANTA — A crash on Interstate 85 southbound in Midtown Atlanta closed all lanes and caused big traffic delays. Now, the lanes have reopened.

Triple Team Traffic’s Doug Turnbull first reported the crash occurred in multiple center lanes and the HOV lane.

Turnbull said the crash blocked the lanes before Exit 84, with the delays impacting traffic as far back as GA 400.

A spokesman for Atlanta Fire Rescue said that fire crews worked the scene, where a person was trapped inside one of the cars.

After working through the wreckage, AFRD said they were able to get the person out of the car and transport them to Grady Hospital for evaluation and care.
