Massive wreck stalls I-75 traffic

It began when a car northbound on I-75 hit a guardrail at about 4:45 p.m., north of the Etowah River bridge in Bartow County. By the time all three lanes were cleared, northbound traffic had been at a standstill for almost two hours and more than a dozen vehicles were involved in the accordion-like wreck.
"We were first told 20 vehicles were involved," said Georgia State Patrol Communications Equipment Officer Heath McGuire. "It wound up being around 12."
McGuire said seven GSP officers worked the massive tie-up, with traffic being diverted onto U.S. 41 north and even onto state Hwy. 293 northbound. At least seven people were treated for injuries, he added.
