Flooding I85 Jimmy Carter Blvd

Via WSBTV Atlanta, Georgia – Heavy rain from remnants of Tropical Storm Fred caused chaos in the morning commute across north Georgia and metro Atlanta on Tuesday morning. Prior to 8 a.m., WSBTV’s Triple Team Traffic reported flooding on Interstate 85 near Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

A Georgia Department on Transportation camera showed water covering up the first four lanes of the interstate traveling southbound. The water was deep enough to almost cover the tires of SUVs trying to travel on the Interstate. Each passing vehicle created another layer of waves, making the interstate look like a small lake.

Another DOT camera showed a highway emergency response operator (HERO) unit blocking the ramp from I-285 eastbound to Buford Highway in Dekalb County, Georgia. The exit ramp also appeared to be under several inches of water before 9 a.m.

Woman Survives After Tree Falls on Car, Piercing Windshield

WSB-TV reported on Sunday morning emergency crews rescued a woman trapped inside her car when a tree fell on it. The accident happened on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway before 8a.m. The road was closed between Alta Place and South Eugenia Place as crews worked to remove the woman form her car safely. Firefighters were able to rescue the woman who sustained minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Firefighters claim that the tree missed the woman’s head by a mere few inches. Video shared by Atlanta Police shows a massive tree limb plunged through the driver’s side of the car’s windshield. A man who lives in the area, Cherard Simmons, told WSBTV’s Kristen Holloway that he had walked outside right as the tree crashed down. Simmons said “The car was coming up the street and the tree fell right on her car. I heard somebody say, ‘Help! Help! and I just dialed 911.”

Simmons claimed trees fall in the area all the time and that a tree fell in the same spot three months ago. “I think they need to cut those trees down in these areas,” Simmons said. “One even hit my car right there. I got a little dent in my car.” Simmons also said that someone needs to address the issue. “In another couple weeks, if a bad storm comes through, it’s going to be the same thing.” Georgia Power and a tree service were able to clear the road safely.
