Four dead after plane crashes onto major Atlanta highway

Four people died on Friday when the small plane they were riding in crashed on a busy Atlanta-area highway after taking off from a nearby airport, local authorities said.
The accident shut down a stretch of Interstate 285 and caused traffic problems throughout Atlanta. But no drivers on the major thoroughfare reported any injuries, including a tractor-trailer driver who said the aircraft clipped his truck.

"It was a sheer miracle that no one was hurt and that we had no other victims," said DeKalb County Fire Rescue Captain Eric Jackson.

Incredible headaches for drivers as authorities reopen the westbound lane but keep the eastbound lane closed to traffic.

Traffic was shut down in both directions on the highway, which was expected to remain closed for hours, according to local media.
