Passenger Ejected From Pick-Up Truck After 1-285 Collision

A passenger riding in the bed of a pick-up truck was ejected onto Interstate 285 in Sandy Springs, near Atlanta, Georgia on Monday afternoon around 2:30 p.m.  The pick-up truck was involved in a collision with a Mercedes, according to the Sandy Springs Police.  Three lanes were closed near Northside Drive for two hours as officials investigated the wreck.  The man was ejected after the pick-up truck rolled following the impact between the two vehicles.  He was rushed to Atlanta Medical Center and treated for his injuries.  Three other passengers were treated for minor injuries; it appears the driver of the Mercedes was not injured.  Early reports did not suggest which driver was liable for the collision, but there will likely be several available insurance policies for the injured passengers to collect from.  It is expected that an Atlanta Area Accident Attorney will be contacted.  If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of the negligence of another, please contact our office at (888) 973-2540 (888-WRECK-404) 24 hours a day to schedule a free initial consultation.
