    Maria and I were on our way up to Buford to see my parents. We were about 3 miles before Hamilton Mills Exit heading north I-85. On the southside between Hamilton Mills and Mall of Ga exit was a bad wreck between 3 cars and a semi. One car looked like it was obliterated. I hope everyone made it out okay in that accident. They completely shut down I-85 south too...dtk for how long though. Anyone see it too? Know the details on it?

    nevermind...here is the story:( i pray for the family in that corolla. http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/gwinnett/stories/2006/09/23/0924metwreck.html

  2. That happened just a few hours after I got off of shift up there. IIRC it was more like 6 vehicles involved and 10 patients, 1 fatal, 3-4 critical. Horrible wreck, all but 1 NB lane shut down for 2-3 hrs. Lots of prayers to all those involved.......

    saw quite a few wrecks today too. On the way home from 675, saw at least 3 wrecks when it was raining but, none looked serious, luckily.
