A 60-year-old Marietta man was critically injured Thursday afternoon in a two-car crash on Roswell Road, police said.

The wreck occurred shortly after 5:30 p.m. when Roberto Santiago, who was driving a Toyota Camry, entered the intersection at North Greenbriar Drive and collided with a Honda Accord driven by a 20-year-old, Marietta police spokesman Officer Joshua Madison said in a news release.
