Atlanta, GA (October 22, 2022) – Two cars collided on a highway near Atlanta on Saturday night, resulting in injuries.
The incident occurred in the southbound lanes of I-285 near Glenwood Road, according to Atlanta authorities. Both cars were damaged when one driver lost control and smashed into the other.
There were injured victims in need of immediate treatment, so paramedics, fire departments, and other local responders were dispatched to the area. There appeared to be at least one casualty receiving care from paramedics. The patients were subsequently rushed to nearby hospitals, where their situations are unknown at this time.
There were significant delays since many lanes of the highway were completely shut down. The police advised locals to find another route in the meantime.
The accident has not been fully investigated yet, though officers say their investigation is still ongoing and active.
Our thoughts remain with the injured victims and their families at this time.
