Last updated Monday, March 20th, 2023

Atlanta, GA (March 18, 2023) – On March 18, Saturday evening, two cars collided on a road in West Fulton County, injuring at least two drivers and/or passengers.

According to Atlanta Police Department officers, the incident took place at about 8:35 p.m., just before the intersection of I-20 and I-285 northbound.

Per authorities, two vehicles were weaving between two lanes on the right side of the road just before the collision. The initial responders on the site were firefighters and emergency medical technicians. The event may have resulted in one or more injuries, although their current conditions are not known.

The right lane and exit ramp were completely empty for about an hour, which caused severe congestion nearby. While investigating the event’s origins is still underway, no new details have been disclosed.

Our thoughts now are with the injured victims and their loved ones.
