Atlanta, GA (January 25, 2023) – In the earlier afternoon hours of Wednesday, January 25th, a major roadway in the Atlanta region saw a significant rear-end collision involving at least two semi-trucks, according to authorities.
At 2:50 p.m., a semi was involved in an accident with another large truck on southbound I-75, just before the Hudson Bridge Road exit ramp. The cars apparently went off the road in the center and right lanes, as shown by news footage taken at the scene. The event caused a one-hour delay in traffic, and given the damage to at least two of the trucks, they had to be towed away.
Atlanta’s emergency medical services and firefighters treated the injured, but their present conditions remain unknown.
The cause of today’s accident is still being determined.
Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their families.
Truck Accidents in Atlanta
In Georgia and throughout the United States, rear-end collisions are the most prevalent kind of vehicle accident, and they account for the lion’s share of fatalities and injuries. In Georgia, rear-end collisions and minor collisions account for over half of all accidents, even when it comes to collisions with large trucks.
Injuries and even death may occur at low speeds. Accident victims may succumb to injuries such as broken bones and spinal cord injuries, particularly in semi-truck accidents.
Moreover, over 10% of fatalities in the last year were caused by rear-end incidents. Regardless of the severity of your injuries or the circumstances surrounding the incident, it is critical that you take immediate steps to ensure your legal rights are protected.
People who have been injured and whose physical capabilities have changed may find it challenging to adjust to their new circumstances. The costs of treatment and missed wages may mount up quickly, no matter how minor the injury. Moreover, the mental damage caused by a careless driver may be difficult to overcome.
