Atlanta, GA – Crash Involving 3 Cars And A Boat Snarls Downtown Atlanta Traffic
Atlanta, GA (June 30, 2023) -A multi-vehicle crash on the Downtown Connector has left three people injured, including a vehicle towing a boat, according to authorities.
The Georgia State Patrol reported that the collision involved several vehicles, including a Hyundai Tucson, a Land Rover, and a Cadillac Escalade that was pulling a boat.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the driver of the Cadillac was following the Land Rover too closely, resulting in a rear-end collision. Subsequently, the Cadillac driver lost control of the vehicle and veered into the HOV lane, where it collided with the Hyundai. 
The impact caused the Hyundai to overturn, coming to a rest on the left shoulder and blocking the HOV lane. Emergency responders had to extricate a person with a head injury from the overturned Hyundai and provided immediate medical assistance.
The crash caused significant disruption, resulting in the closure of the HOV lane. The injured individuals were transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for further treatment. The Georgia State Patrol is continuing its investigation into the incident.
