A portion of I-85 in northern Jackson County was shut down for several hours Saturday due to an overturned tractor-trailer.

The wreck happened just after 11:00 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the interstate near the Ga. 98/Maysville Road exit according to the Georgia State Patrol. The vehicle reportedly had a mechanical issue and overturned, blocking both northbound lanes.

Officials responded to the scene, but the lanes remained closed until just after 2:00 p.m. No injuries have been reported in the crash.

I-85 Northbound is currently open.
