Atlanta, GA (May 6, 2025) – A crash on I-75/85 South near Williams Street (Exit 249) caused significant delays for commuters earlier today. The incident, which occurred around 1:00 p.m., blocked the center lane of the southbound side of the interstate, causing heavy congestion.
The crash involved two vehicles, though the exact cause remains under investigation. Emergency crews arrived promptly at the scene, and by mid-afternoon, the crash had been moved to the right shoulder, allowing the lanes to be cleared. However, drivers continued to experience delays as the effects of the traffic backup lingered.
Georgia State Patrol and local authorities are looking into the cause of the crash. Traffic backed up into Midtown Atlanta, and motorists were urged to be patient as delays continued throughout the day. The incident was cleared, but residual delays persisted for at least an hour after the lanes were reopened.
