A car with two people inside tried to turn left from Lavista Road onto I-285 north and collided with a car with five people inside, DeKalb police Maj. Stephen Fore said.

The driver of the car that turned was cited for failure to yield, Fore said.

None of the people were taken to a hospital, Fore said.
