Last updated Wednesday, January 18th, 2023

Atlanta, GA (November 20, 2022) – On Sunday, November 20th, two vehicles collided on a highway in Fulton County, close to Atlanta, causing injuries to a handful of drivers and passengers.

Officers with the Atlanta Police Department said the incident occurred at 1:25 p.m. in the area right before the interchange of northbound I-20 and I-285. Two automobiles were weaving between two lanes on the right side of the road just before the collision, and both cars were severely damaged as a result.

Firefighters and EMS workers were among the first at the scene. One or more people were hurt because of what happened, though their current conditions are unclear.

Almost an hour of inactivity on the right lanes and off-ramp caused significant delays in the area’s traffic. The investigation into the incident’s origins is still underway, but no new details have been made public.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their families.

Georgia’s Rate of Vehicle Accidents

The tragic reality of automobile accidents is something that many individuals must face on a regular basis. Accidents involving hundreds of thousands of vehicles are a common occurrence in Georgia due to careless driving on the part of numerous drivers.

Data from the Georgia Department of Transportation suggests that by the time the books are closed on 2020, there will have been over 330,000 car accidents in the state. The worrying pattern of rising road accidents persists in our state notwithstanding the coronavirus pandemic.

In all, 125,000 people were injured and 1,500 lost their lives as a direct consequence of these incidents. Victims of automobile accidents may have to spend a lot of money because of dangers on our roads, such as texting while driving and drunk driving.
