A crash has been reported on I-285 in DeKalb County, Georgia, according to a report from 11Alive. Specific information about the incident, including when it occurred, how many vehicles were involved, and whether anyone was injured, has not been released.
No agency has yet been identified as the lead investigator for the crash, and officials have not published a description of how the incident unfolded. The exact stretch of I-285 involved, along with any nearby cross streets or mile markers, has also not been specified in available reporting.
