Big rig fire shuts down I-75 south of Atlanta
Big rigs were backed up on I-75 south of Atlanta after an 18-wheeler caught on fire early Tuesday morning.

Weather impeded traffic in Atlanta, but a tractor-trailer fire locked down I-75 on Wednesday morning.

A tractor trailer fire on I-75 Northbound before High Falls Rd at mile post 196 in Forsyth resulted in all lanes being blocked. The Georgia Department of Transportation stated on its website to expect significant delays if traveling through the area.

Emergency services responded to the scene working to address the incident.

Numerous big rigs were shown parked along I-75 during the traffic stoppage.
