LAURENS COUNTY, Ga. — A tractor-trailer hauling cotton bales caught fire on I-16 West in Laurens County just after 7:30 Monday morning, according to the Georgia State Patrol.
The tractor-trailer struck a van in the rear; the impact caused the semi to crash into two other tractor-trailers before overturning, blocking all lanes of traffic.
All lanes were closed until 11:30 a.m., before the left lane was opened. The right lane remains closed while the clean up continues.
