Monroe County, GA – Drivers are being urged to avoid part of Collier Road today after an overturned tractor-trailer forced a full road closure, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred in the area of Collier Road near the Ten 8 Company, where an 18-wheeler overturned and blocked the roadway. Authorities confirmed the road is currently closed, and there is no estimated time for reopening.
The closure is impacting local traffic in Monroe County and could cause delays for drivers traveling between nearby rural routes and business areas in the region. Deputies are asking motorists to use alternate routes and avoid the area while crews work to clear the scene.
Officials have not released details on what caused the truck to overturn or whether there were any injuries involved. Additional information is expected once the investigation and recovery efforts progress.
Collier Road is a commonly used local connector, and drivers traveling through Monroe County and nearby Middle Georgia communities should plan for possible extended delays. Commercial traffic and school or work commuters may be especially affected while the closure remains in place.
Residents living nearby may notice an increased law enforcement presence, heavy equipment, and detoured traffic throughout the day. Drivers are also reminded to slow down near emergency scenes and follow all posted detours for safety.
Updates will be provided by local authorities as conditions change and once a reopening timeline becomes available.
