A woman was flown to a hospital after a box truck collided with a broken-down tractor-trailer on I-75 South in Acworth early Friday morning.

The crash was reported around 6 a.m. just before Ga. 92 or exit 277, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. All lanes were closed until around 7:45 a.m.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, the big rig was parked in the emergency lane with its flashers on when a box truck failed to maintain its lane and hit the back of the trailer.

A medical helicopter transported the woman to the hospital around 7 a.m. She had been a passenger in the box truck and suffered serious injuries, the GSP said. No other details have been released.
