ATLANTA, GA – A driver managed to escape injuries after their trash truck sideswiped the Mount Vernon Bridge overpass near I-285 Wednesday, Atlanta News First.
The exact circumstances behind Wednesday’s collision are unknown, with authorities only confirming that the truck was in a “raised position” when it came into contact with the bridge.
Upon arrival, local police closed one westbound lane to accommodate the scene clearance process performed by crews and for their investigation. In addition, the closure provided Georgia Department of Transportation crews the opportunity to ensure the bridge’s structural integrity was not compromised.
