Cobb Police are asking motorists to find an alternate route along a busy portion of Lower Roswell Road Tuesday afternoon.

A crash on Lower Roswell eastbound near Fairfield Drive has blocked two lanes of traffic in a congested area at the East Cobb Government Service Center and Mt. Bethel Church.

Police said in a social media posting that traffic is getting by, but there are delays and “please use an alternate route.”

Early voting continues at the East Cobb government center until 7 p.m., and the parking lot was nearly full when we went by earlier Tuesday afternoon. There was a backup of traffic trying to access the entrance at Lower Roswell and Fairfield.

UPDATED, 5:15 P.M.: Cobb Police are reporting that all lanes of traffic are open.

A Roswell woman was ejected from her motorcycle and landed on a guardrail after her vehicle crashed into a concrete curb on Lower Roswell Road Friday afternoon, Cobb Police said.

Carolyn C. Keelaghan, 57, was taken by ambulance to WellStar Kennestone Hospital with what a police spokeswoman said are serious but not believed to be life-threatening injuries.

Officer Sydney Melton said Keelaghan was riding a Harley Davidson XL883 motorcycle northbound on Lower Roswell, between Asheforde Drive and Timber Ridge Road, at 5:54 p.m. Friday.

The motorcyclist was making a sharp turn to her left, but failed to maintain her lane and the bike crashed into a concrete curb, Melton said. The motorcycle overturned and Keelaghan was thrown into a guardrail, according to police, who said the incident remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Cobb County Police Department at 770-499-3987.
