(CNN) Two people died Saturday morning in a fiery crash on Interstate 85 in suburban Atlanta that shut down the busy highway for hours, according to Gwinnett County police. The tanker truck spun sideways across four lanes of traffic and flipped over several times, police said. The car's driver, a 31-year-old woman, and the truck driver, a 44-year-old man, were killed, police said. Currently two northbound lanes on I-85 have reopened after this morning's fire. CNN affiliate WSB-TV reported that smoke and flames billowed from manhole covers and that flames caused a brush fire.
