Tractor trailer truck overturns, blocks Interstate 75 - Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5

Authorities say all southbound lanes of Interstate 75 were blocked for nearly six hours in Henry County after a tractor trailer truck overturned on Thursday.

The truck overturned just south of Highway 155, spilling methyl bromide onto the interstate at around 5:30 a.m., say authorities. They say the driver claimed he struck debris on the road.

The driver was transported to Piedmont Henry Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, say authorities.

According to the EPA's website, methyl bromide is an odorless, colorless gas and used in agriculture as a broad-spectrum pesticide.

All lanes were reopened at around 11:15 a.m.
