BARTOW COUNTY, Ga. — Traffic had to be diverted off of Interstate 75 in Bartow County on Wednesday afternoon after a tractor-trailer crashed off an overpass bridge, damaging it.
A FedEx truck somehow lost control and went off the bridge.
All lanes of I-75 southbound had to be closed at Old Allatoona Road (Exit 283) for a couple of hours as crews cleaned up the mess.
NewsChopper 2 flew over the scene and showed the trailer part of the truck lying on its side but out of the roadway.
Traffic is now flowing through the area.
