Clayton County and Riverdale emergency crews responded to the scene shortly before 10 a.m. They had to free a man from inside a crumpled Chrysler Pacifica before loading him into an ambulance.

It was not known how many passengers were traveling in the Chrysler, which had severe front-end damage.

MARTA Mobility provides accessible transit service to anyone who is unable to use regular MARTA services due to disability.
