The crash happened just before 11:30 a.m. at University Avenue and Metropolitan Parkway, Atlanta police said in a news release. Two cars were involved in the main collision in the intersection. One of the drivers lost control of their vehicle and it left the road and hit the pedestrian and another car.
The drivers of the first two cars were taken to the hospital along with the pedestrian, police said. No further information was released about the severity of their injuries, the types of cars involved or who may have been at fault.
