Interstate Collisions in Atlanta
The Midtown stretch where I-85 S meets I-75 N is one of the most heavily traveled sections of interstate in the Atlanta metro area. Known for its high-speed traffic and complex lane shifts, this corridor has long been a hotspot for vehicle collisions. Crashes here, particularly in the early morning hours, often involve limited visibility and quick decision-making under pressure.
According to Georgia Department of Transportation statistics, the state saw over 1,000 injury-related crashes along interstate highways in 2024. In the Atlanta region, interchanges like the I-85/I-75 junction continue to pose challenges for drivers due to volume and rapid lane changes.
If you are involved in a crash on an interstate, it is essential to prioritize safety. Move to a secure area if possible, call emergency services, document the scene, and avoid admitting fault. These steps can protect both your health and your legal rights.
