The black sedan shows a significant amount of front-end damage. However, what is unclear is if the driver and occupants of that vehicle, along with the truck passengers, were hurt. This piece of information, including the exact cause of this crash, will be added as our news team uncovers more. 

Due to the nature of this crash, commuters in the area can expect traffic delays on the freeway to continue through Sandy Springs as crews work to clean up the debris and as first responders investigate the specifics of this crash and render aid to those involved.
