An investigation into a pedestrian’s death led to the closure of several southbound lanes of I-85 through Suwanee amid Thursday morning’s commute.
Suwanee police said they got a call about a person being struck by a vehicle around 8:45 a.m. It happened at Ga. 317, or exit 111, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
When officers arrived, they found a man who had been hit by a tractor-trailer. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash was cleared by 10:45 a.m., but delays remained along I-85 and I-985 throughout the morning. At one point, traffic was backed up almost to where Morgan Road parallels the interstate. On I-985, delays stacked up to just before Suwanee Creek.
