Atlanta, GA (May 1, 2025) – A truck accident on I-75 South in Atlanta, Georgia, led to significant traffic delays earlier today. The crash occurred around 5:30 a.m., involving a large 18-wheeler and a blue Toyota sedan.
Reports indicate that the 18-wheeler was traveling southbound when the driver suddenly lost control, striking the Toyota sedan in the process. The collision caused the sedan to veer off the road and collide with the guardrail, while the truck jackknifed and blocked two lanes of traffic.
The driver of the sedan, a 38-year-old woman, suffered injuries to her chest and leg and was immediately transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The driver of the 18-wheeler, a 55-year-old man, was uninjured but was evaluated at the scene by emergency responders.
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash. Initial reports suggest that the truck driver may have lost control due to a mechanical failure or hazardous road conditions. Traffic on I-75 South was backed up for over an hour while emergency responders cleared the scene and worked to restore traffic flow.
We extend our thoughts to the injured driver and wish her a full and speedy recovery.
