Atlanta, GA (May 5, 2025) – A multi-vehicle collision occurred Monday morning on I-285 Southbound near the Glenridge Connector exit, resulting in two reported injuries and significant traffic delays during peak commute hours.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation and eyewitness reports, the crash took place shortly before 8:00 a.m. and involved three vehicles — a white Toyota Camry, a black pickup truck, and a delivery van. Preliminary accounts suggest that the Camry was slowing for traffic when it was rear-ended by the pickup, which was subsequently struck by the van in a chain-reaction collision.
Emergency responders from the Atlanta Fire Department arrived within minutes and transported two injured drivers to nearby Northside Hospital. Both individuals reportedly suffered non-life-threatening injuries, including back and neck strain. The third driver declined medical treatment at the scene.
Atlanta Police have launched an investigation into the crash. Authorities have not yet determined whether speeding or distracted driving contributed to the incident, though driver statements are currently being collected.
The crash caused lane closures on I-285 Southbound between Roswell Road and the Glenridge Connector for over an hour as tow trucks cleared debris and investigators examined the scene. All lanes were reopened by 9:30 a.m., but delays continued into the mid-morning commute.
We extend our thoughts to those injured and hope for their swift recovery.
