Atlanta, GA (April 30, 2025) – A major collision on I-285 South in Atlanta, Georgia, has left two drivers injured. The accident occurred around 4:45 p.m., involving a black Chevrolet Silverado and a white Honda Civic.
Reports indicate that the Chevrolet Silverado was traveling in the center lane of I-285 South when the driver attempted to change lanes. In doing so, the Silverado collided with the Honda Civic, which was traveling in the adjacent lane. The impact caused the Honda Civic to spin out and hit the guardrail before coming to a stop. The Silverado veered off the road and into the shoulder.
The driver of the Honda Civic, a 28-year-old man, sustained injuries to his back and chest and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The driver of the Chevrolet Silverado, a 54-year-old woman, was also injured, suffering a broken arm and facial injuries. She was treated at the scene and then transported to a medical facility.
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the crash, and initial reports suggest that the driver of the Chevrolet Silverado may have misjudged the distance when changing lanes, which caused the collision. Traffic on I-285 South was delayed for over 40 minutes while emergency responders cleared the wreckage and restored normal flow.
We extend our thoughts to the injured drivers and wish them a full and speedy recovery.
