A lunch time trash spill, caused when a trash truck was rear-ended by a pickup truck, slowed traffic on Ga. 400 to a crawl for close to an hour as deputies and others who stopped to help worked to clean up the mess.
The trash truck had just turned on to Ga. 400 going south, and was headed toward Hubbard Town Road when it was hit, according to the Georgia State Patrol Troopers cited the driver of the pickup, saying the trash truck had already completed the turn and was well past the intersection when she hit it.
