Kennesaw: A multi-vehicle crash in rainy weather killed one person and shut down a busy stretch of the interstate for hours on Thursday in Atlanta’s northwest suburbs.
Cobb County police said at least one person died in the crash, which happened around 11:15 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the interstate. It’s unclear if others were injured.
Police announced in the early afternoon that northbound I-75 could remain closed for six more hours as police and fire officials investigated and worked to clear the scene.
One driver told WSB-TV that there were multiple crashes during heavy rain that severely limited visibility.
Interstate 85 near downtown Atlanta was closed for hours on Wednesday as police investigated after finding one man shot dead and one wounded with a gunshot on the side of the highway.
