A small plane crashed on Interstate 285 north of Atlanta on Friday morning, snarling traffic on the bypass that encircles the city, footage from CNN affiliate WSB shows.
The Federal Aviation Administration said a single-engine Piper PA-32 crashed after leaving nearby DeKalb-Peachtree Airport.
Details about any casualties weren’t immediately available. Four people are believed to have been aboard the plane, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
Images taken by WSB and police in the Atlanta-area city of Dunwoody showed smoking debris on I-285, near the concrete barrier separating eastbound and westbound lanes.
All lanes in both directions were closed at the crash site, causing long traffic backups.
Dunwoody police began reporting the crash around 10 a.m. ET.
