One man has died as a result of a fire under a bridge on I-85 in Dekalb County.

The fire may have also led to a series of car accidents. Smoke from the blaze likely contributed to the wrecks, but none involved serious injury.

The fire broke out under that bridge at I-85 and Northcrest Road around 9:30 Tuesday night.

The body of a homeless man was found as the fire was distinguished. This is the latest in a series of bridge fires in the I-85 vicinity. A 2017 fire resulted in a collapsed section of the interstate that took six weeks to repair.

The man who died had lived under the bridge for several years, according to friends. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
