Footage from the scene showed the tractor-trailer on its side, lying across the grass median and the exit lanes. Although the crash occurred on the exit ramp, police activity and recovery work also blocked the two right lanes of I-75 South, adding to the congestion.

By approximately 8:30 a.m., traffic maps showed delays stretching back past Woodstock Road, with impacts reported into Cherokee and Bartow counties. An update reported that as of 9:50 a.m., the situation remained ongoing and crews were still on scene working to clear the truck, with the exit continuing to be closed while the investigation proceeded.

The cause of the crash has not been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
