COBB COUNTY, Ga. - A tractor trailer fire has shut down traffic on I-285 southbound Tuesday afternoon. So far, only one lane has reopened.
First responders have blocked off traffic at Atlanta Road, setting up a water shuttle operation.
Traffic could be seen back-up for several miles along the interstate as crews worked the situation. SkyFOX 5 flew over the scene, and it appeared all flames had been put out. It is unclear how long it will take to clear the wreck from the roadway.
Motorists are being asked to avoid the area if possible.
