Traffic on Interstate 85 was forced to a slow crawl Friday evening when a car on the side of the road erupted in flames.
Smoke billowed from the hood of the car, as it sat on the shoulder of Interstate 85 southbound in DeKalb County, just before the Georgia 400 split.
The driver was able to escape the vehicle safely.
Firefighters arrived on the scene a short while later and fought to bring the blaze under control.
As a result of the fire, traffic was backed up on Interstate 85 to the Clairmont Road exit.
