Cobb County, GA (May 26, 2025) – A multi-lane crash on Interstate 285 eastbound (Inner Loop) at the I-75 interchange (Exit 20) brought traffic to a near standstill late Monday morning, May 26. The collision, which occurred shortly before 11:45 a.m., blocked three left lanes, causing significant congestion in the area.
Drivers traveling through the Cobb County corridor are being urged to avoid the backup by using the I-285 eastbound low ramp as an alternate route. Emergency crews are on the scene working to help injured victims and clear the wreckage from the roadway.
At this time, the extent of injuries and the number of vehicles involved have not been confirmed. Motorists should expect continued delays and exercise caution while navigating through the area.
We wish those hurt in this wreck a rapid and total recovery.
Georgia Car Accidents
Cobb County experiences its fair share of Georgia’s more than 300,000 car accidents each year—many of which leave individuals and families reeling from painful injuries, emotional trauma, and financial uncertainty. Across the state and country, these incidents are far too common, with over 40,000 people losing their lives annually in the U.S. due to motor vehicle crashes.
Most of these accidents are preventable. Nationwide, more than 17,000 crashes happen each day, leading to roughly 7,500 injuries daily. Alarmingly, about 92% of these collisions are caused by negligence—such as texting while driving, falling asleep at the wheel, or excessive speeding. Speed-related crashes alone take over 11,000 lives each year, while distracted driving leads to more than 400,000 collisions annually.
