According to Cobb Commissioner Bob Ott, an elderly driver hit a large power pole, putting wires over the intersection.

“This is going to be a rush hour mess,” Ott said Tuesday afternoon.

Roads throughout east Cobb backed up because of the situation.

Just before 6 p.m., lanes reopened and traffic began moving.

Authorities said they worked with schools to reroute buses. Children were delayed getting home.
