A fiery vehicle crash investigation shut down Interstate 285 southbound on Atlanta's west side perimeter Friday morning.
Emergency crews and traffic officers are currently working at the scene, causing significant gridlock for morning commuters.
The incident was reported along the outer loop of the Perimeter.
According to SkyFOX Traffic, a severe crash resulted in a fire, prompting emergency responders to close all southbound travel lanes at Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.
Traffic cameras from the scene show emergency vehicles blocking the main highway lanes as investigators work to clear the wreckage and evaluate the roadway.
The lane closures have triggered heavy rubbernecking and severe gridlock along the corridor.
Bumper-to-back traffic is currently stretched several miles north toward Paces Ferry Road.
Take Interstate 75 Southbound as a primary bypass into the city.
Drivers traveling near Buckhead or Vinings can use Atlanta Road or Cobb Parkway to navigate around the blockage before reconnecting south of Hollowell Parkway.
Details regarding injuries, the number of vehicles involved, or an estimated time for reopening have not yet been released.
