A serious traffic incident on Georgia State Route 400 has led to multiple lane closures and injuries last night, according to the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety. The accident, which occurred around 8:55 p.m. between Windward Parkway and McFarland Parkway, has greatly reduced northbound traffic flow to a single lane, as reported by 11Alive.
While details on the precise number and severity of the injuries have not been released, authorities have indicated that the crash is under thorough investigation and updates will follow as information becomes available; in the interim, affected sections of GA 400 were closed for several hours as the crews worked diligently to clear the debris and manage the subsequent traffic disruptions, as noted by FOX5 Atlanta.
The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety has urged commuters to consider alternative routes due to the significant expected delays from the ongoing road closure. The crash's impact on late-night travel plans was substantial, and though the cause of the accident is yet to be determined, the Alpharetta DPS continues to investigate the circumstances leading up to the event.
Drivers in and around the Alpharetta area are facing unexpected changes to their nighttime commutes, as the passage through this major roadway remains restricted. The DPS has not specified when the lanes will reopen but advises drivers to remain vigilant and patient as they navigate the disruptions caused by the crash. They aim to prevent further incidents and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
