5 PM: Interstate 85 is shut down in both directions as authorities work to clear two tractor-trailers that collided and caught fire. The accident happened about 2 p.m. this afternoon in Coweta County south of Atlanta. Georgia State Patrol officials say two people were injured in the wreck, but their conditions are unknown. Part of a high school that sits next to the interstate was evacuated as a precaution. Coweta County Schools spokesman Dean Jackson said about 500 students at Northgate High School were moved to another building farther from the edge of campus. He said none of the students were injured.
