A widely scattered crash has blocked all lanes of I-285 South near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport for over two hours early Wednesday.
The crash was reported just before Camp Creek Parkway around 5 a.m., according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Only a few lanes were blocked initially, but all lanes have since been closed as police and GDOT crews work to clear the scene.
