Atlanta, GA (March 24, 2024) – In a tragic event on Sunday morning, a catastrophic vehicular accident occurred on Interstate 20’s westbound ramp at Maynard Terrace SE, claiming at least one life and leaving another person injured. The Atlanta Police Department reported to the scene at approximately 3:37 a.m., where they discovered the wreckage involving two vehicles.
The force of the collision was so intense that it sent one car careening 60 feet from the interstate into a stand of trees, ultimately leading to the driver’s death at the scene. The second car was found on the ramp with the driver suffering from injuries, although the specific condition of the injured party has not been made public as of yet. Recovery crews faced the grim task of retrieving the vehicle that had lodged itself among the trees.
Investigators are relentlessly working to determine the precise cause of the accident, and they have not yet released the identities of the individuals involved. The area surrounding the crash scene was closed for several hours as emergency teams and accident reconstruction specialists worked. The local community is now mourning the loss while also hoping for a full recovery of the other individual involved.
