The single-vehicle wreck happened at West Paces Ferry and Pinestream roads, Atlanta police spokesman Officer Steve Avery said. No injuries were reported in the crash, and the scene was cleared by noon.

The incident toppled a power pole in the area, causing an outage to a nearby neighborhood, officials confirmed.
