WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ga. — Rescue crews spent much of the morning working to reopen the Fall Line Freeway in Washington County.

Sheriff Joel Cochran shared photos of a truck crash that shut down the highway near Sandersville. The truck flipped and blocked the highway for several hours.

Even though the cab was smashed, the sheriff says the driver is expected to recover.

Crews brought in a crane to life the wreckage off the highway. While work was underway, deputies detoured traffic around the wreck.
