One person is dead after a fire under a DeKalb County overpass Tuesday night, which also led to a multi-car pileup on I-85, officials said.

Police said several separate crashes on I-85 appeared to have been caused due to drivers looking at a fire that was started under the bridge.

There's a heavy law enforcement presence on I-85 NB at Northcrest Road where a serious crash was reported in DeKalb County late Tuesday night.

DeKalb County Fire Captain Jaeson Daniels addressed the media on Tuesday after a dead body was found in the area of a fire and crash on I-85. The incident shut down three northbound lanes of traffic while officials opened an investigation.
