Braves' Tomahawk Chops Snarl Traffic On I-75 In Cobb
BREAKING: Scores of foam Tomahawk Chops littered the interstate after a spill Wednesday, snarling traffic.
NORTHEAST COBB, GA -- Let's hope it's not a sign: Two days before the Atlanta Braves are set to make their debut at SunTrust Park, a truck containing scores of Tomahawk Chops spilled its cargo onto Interstate 75, snarling traffic.
The Chops, well known to Braves fans and opponents, were likely en route to the new stadium, which will play host to the Braves inaugural day on Friday.
The boxes blocked two left lanes and caused delays for about an hour, Georgia Department of Transportation officials told WSB Radio.
