1 dead, 3 injured after crash Thursday morning on I-20 near Windsor Street

Atlanta police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred early Thursday morning on eastbound Interstate 20 near the Windsor Street exit. Officers responded to the scene around 2:01 a.m. and confirmed that a male passenger was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the preliminary investigation, a black Hyundai Sonata was traveling eastbound on I-20 near the I-75/85 Expressway exit when the vehicle veered off the road. The car entered a grassy median between I-20 and the I-75/85 freeway ramp, struck a light pole and a bumper, and overturned several times. The vehicle eventually landed upside down on the Windsor Street ramp.

A male passenger was ejected from the vehicle on impact and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and two other passengers suffered non-life threatening injuries and were transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The Accident Investigation Unit is working to establish the circumstances that led to the accident. The investigation is ongoing.
