Report body
An accident has been reported on the westbound entry ramp connecting Interstate 20 to Interstate 285 northbound in Atlanta, according to 11 Alive. The ramp, located in Fulton County, had only recently opened to drivers before the crash occurred.
Details about the incident remain limited. The number of vehicles involved has not been confirmed, and information on injuries or fatalities has not yet been released. Because the ramp is a new addition to the I-20/I-285 interchange, drivers in the area may still be adjusting to the updated traffic pattern, though no cause for the crash has been reported.
No timeline for the incident, including the time it occurred, has been made public. It is not yet known whether the roadway or ramp was closed or partially blocked as a result of the crash, or whether that closure affected traffic flow through the busy interchange, one of the most heavily traveled junctions in metro Atlanta.
11 Alive reported on the crash but did not specify which law enforcement or transportation agency responded to the scene or is handling any follow-up investigation. No additional statements from officials have been published at this time.
This report will be updated as officials or news sources release more information about the crash, including any details on injuries, vehicles involved, or the circumstances surrounding the incident on the newly opened ramp.
