Patrol Car Overturns During Crash Probe On I-85 In Gwinnett

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA —A police officer's patrol car overturned after it was hit during an unrelated crash investigation Sunday night on Interstate 85, Gwinnett County Police said.

A GCPD officer was investigating a crash around 11:30 p.m. on I-85 north, south of Jimmy Carter Boulevard, when another vehicle hit the patrol car, police said.

The impact from the collision then pushed the patrol car into a vehicle involved in the initial crash, causing the patrol car to overturn, police said. The officer was not inside the patrol car at the time.

Three lanes of I-85 north were shut down until about 12:30 a.m. Monday during the investigation.

No one was injured in the crash. Details of the first accident were not revealed.
