According to the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office, the lanes were shut down following a traffic accident reported on the northbound side of I-75 near Woodstock Road. Deputies issued a public traffic alert shortly after the incident.
Authorities said two northbound lanes are currently closed while emergency crews respond at the scene. Photos released with the alert show fire crews and emergency personnel positioned across the roadway while responders assist near the shoulder.
Fire apparatus and multiple responders were visible at the location, and at least one vehicle appeared stopped along the right side of the highway as crews worked nearby.
