ATLANTA — Police have reopened the northbound lanes of Interstate 75/Interstate 85 after a deadly crash.
Triple Team Traffic’s Mike Shields first reported the crash near the University Ave exit around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday on Atlanta’s Morning News.
Atlanta authorities have since confirmed that one pedestrian was hit by a vehicle. Police pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
Police cleared the scene at 9:15 a.m.
Shields says drivers can use Interstate 285, Hwy 41 or Hwy 29 as alternates if there are still delays.
That was not the only crash that occurred on the downtown connector Wednesday morning.
Shields reports that a separate multi-car crash had lanes blocked on I-75/85 NB near 17th Street.
