DeKalb Co., GA (April 7, 2025) – Two kids and two adults, along with a DeKalb County police officer, all suffered injuries in an early morning accident in DeKalb County on Saturday, April 6. The head-on accident took place just before 7:30 a.m. on East Ponce De Leon Avenue between Rays Road and Hambrick Road.
Three vehicles were reportedly involved in the collision that occurred when an eastbound driver reportedly attempted to pass another vehicle by crossing the double yellow line. That vehicle ended up striking two other vehicles and a police vehicle headed in the opposite direction. Five people were transported to the hospital with injuries. The children were identified as an 8-year-old and a 13-year-old. Police in DeKalb County continue to investigate the details of the collision.
We hope for the full and rapid recovery of the injured victims.
Georgia Car Crashes
Georgia sees a significant number of traffic accidents each year, with over 300,000 crashes reported. These collisions result in more than 150,000 injuries and, tragically, thousands of fatalities. Many of these incidents could be avoided, as they are frequently caused by negligent driving.
Negligence behind the wheel remains a serious issue throughout the United States, with studies revealing that over 94% of traffic accidents are the result of driver mistakes. Common forms of negligent driving include:
- Driving under the influence
- Distracted driving
- Driving while fatigued
- Speeding
For example, speeding contributed to over 12,000 fatalities in a single year, and distracted driving was involved in more than 400,000 accidents. These reckless behaviors often lead to more severe crashes, making it essential for drivers to remain alert and responsible. Negligent driving can cause accidents that result in serious injuries or fatalities, highlighting the importance of having the right support during recovery, including financial help.
