East Cobb traffic alert: Piedmont Road reopens after car crash knocks out power

Piedmont Road closed

UPDATED 4:36 p.m.: Piedmont Road has reopened after an East Cobb car crash earlier this afternoon.

Shortly before 2 p.m. Thursday Cobb Police said Piedmont Road is closed at Sprayberry Drive due to a single-car crash that took down power poles and knocked out electricity in the area (that’s just west of the Piedmont-Sandy Plains intersection and Sprayberry High School).

The car overturned and the crash prompted several small fires, according to police, who said the driver suffered minor injuries.

Will update this story with more information when we get it.
