Cow blocks westbound lanes on I-285 in DeKalb, officials say
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A traffic jam in metro-Atlanta isn't usually remarkable, but this one is.
The Georgia Department of Transportation said on Saturday morning a cow blocked traffic forcing some westbound lanes on Interstate 285 to be closed on Saturday morning.
