Tractor-Trailers Crash On I-285

Posted: 4:50 pm EDT June 19, 2007Updated: 4:51 pm EDT June 19, 2007

ATLANTA -- Wet roads and a nasty crash are creating a major headache for commuters on Southbound I-285.

Part of the interstate has been shut down.

Three tractor-trailers crashed between Hollowell and the Westbound I-20 exit ramp.

The lanes are closed so crews can clean up a diesel spill.

The situation is not much better for drivers heading North on I-285. Traffic was at a slow crawl at last check.
