A rollover crash involving entrapment shut down Webb Branch Way at Kimball Branch Road in Johns Creek on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

The Johns Creek Police Department posted a traffic alert on X at 1:49 p.m., describing the incident as an accident with entrapment involving a rollover. The department directed drivers to avoid the area and use alternate routes.

Police did not say how many vehicles were involved or describe the condition of anyone at the scene. No update on when the road reopened had been posted as of the afternoon of Sept. 30.

The closure was the second in two days. On Tuesday, Sept. 29, police shut down all southbound lanes of Medlock Bridge Road at East Johns Crossing and Hospital Parkway after a separate crash left debris in the roadway, according to a JCPD traffic alert. One northbound lane remained open during that closure.

Residents should call 911 for emergencies.
