The Atlanta Braves just can't catch a break with Georgia's interstate highways.

After a bridge on the I-85 collapsed earlier this month, causing concern for the team's debut at the new SunTrust Park, the Braves made headlines with another freeway Wednesday morning, when foam models of the club's tomahawk logo fell off a truck and blocked two lanes on the I-75, according to Ellen Eldrige of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

Despite the absurdity of the situation, the delay lasted nearly an hour, Georgia Department of Transportation officials told Eldridge.
