Atlanta, GA (December 31, 2024) – At least one person was hurt in a traffic accident in Atlanta on December 29. Reports from authorities show the incident occurred in the 200 block of Cortland Street Northeast when a vehicle tipped over onto its side. The way the incident occurred is still being determined by area law enforcement officials. Emergency medical personnel were seen helping those with injuries and transporting seriously wounded patients to local hospitals. One person became trapped inside their vehicle and had to be extricated by fire crews. Those involved in the wreck have not currently been identified as police in Atlanta continue to investigate the circumstances of the crash.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured victims.
Georgia Traffic Accidents
Each year, thousands of people suffer injuries in Georgia car wrecks. In 2022, it was estimated that more than 1,700 people lost their lives in auto accidents statewide. On average, around 130,000 yearly injury collisions occur in the Peach State. Tragically, over 30 people lose their lives each week in catastrophic auto accidents across the state. Unfortunately, car accidents have become a common occurrence on Georgia’s roadways.
Negligent driving is behind many of these accidents, such as driving under the influence and speeding. However, the leading cause of car accidents in Georgia today is the failure to use a turn signal—another form of driver negligence.
