Georgia State Patrol troopers confirmed that that no one received serious injuries after a three-vehicle accident on I-475 southbound near exit 3.
As per the initial reports, a Ford Escape was traveling in the right lane of I-475 SB when a 2016 Freightliner tried to go around the Escape by changing to the middle lane. When the Freightliner changed lanes, it was hit by a 2017 Volvo Tractor-Trailer.
The force of the crash caused both tractor-trailers to collide with the Ford Escape going in the right lane. A semi-truck rolled in a ditch as a result of the wreck. The drivers of all three vehicles sustained non-critical injuries. The accident has still caused traffic delays as crews are removing the semi-truck form the ditch. Authorities asked motorists to find an alternate route. The estimated time of clearance is 5:30 p.m.
The wreck remains under active review.
