LOCUST GROVE, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A tractor-trailer that appears to belong to Amazon, caught fire Thursday afternoon on Interstate 75.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, it happened in the northbound lanes near Bill Gardner Parkway and the Tanger Outlet Center. Two right lanes were blocked while crews worked to put the fire out and clear the scene.
From the Atlanta News First chopper, we could see some sort of forklift removing pallets of boxes from the trailer.
Henry County Fire Captain Hutter said they got the call around 2 p.m. No injuries were reported.
All lanes have since reopened.
