Atlanta, GA (May 12, 2025) – A crash on I-85 Northbound near Exit 93 (Shallowford Road) caused midday traffic issues for Atlanta drivers Monday, temporarily shutting down the left lane before being cleared.
The collision occurred just before 1:00 p.m., leading to slowdowns and congestion in the northbound lanes. Emergency crews responded to the scene, working quickly to assess any injuries and manage traffic flow. By 2:00 p.m., the vehicle involved had been relocated to the shoulder, and all lanes were reopened, according to WSB-TV traffic reports.
