Atlanta Braves foam tomahawks cause hour-long traffic delay

There’s a worry in the Atlanta area that SunTrust Park, the new Atlanta Braves stadium that opens Friday, is going to be a nightmare for traffic. It will be, if the Braves can’t keep their foam tomahawks out of the highway!

On Wednesday morning, traffic near the stadium on I-75 South was delayed for almost an hour. Why? Because boxes of Braves foam tomahawks fell out of a truck and spilled onto the highway. “The debris blocked two left lanes for almost an hour,” was the official word from the Georgia Department of Transportation, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
