BARTOW COUNTY, GA — One person was injured Friday morning during a crash involving two trucks on Interstate 75 in Acworth, reports Atlanta News First<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Georgia State Patrol officials say the accident took place on southbound I-75, just past Exit 278 to Glade Road, in an area approaching the Bartow-Cobb County line.<\/p>\n

An early investigation found that a Penske box truck veered out from its lane rear-ended a tractor-trailer, which was parked in the emergency lane with its flashers activated.<\/p>\n

First responders had a female passenger from the Penske truck flown by medical helicopter to an area hospital. No information specifying the severity of her condition has been disclosed.<\/p>\n

A span of the southbound highway was blocked off during the emergency response and clearance of a cargo and fuel spill.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not reported any pending charges or other information at this time.<\/p>\n
