Two people were run over while waiting at a MARTA bus stop in College Park on Friday afternoon, authorities confirmed.
The Georgia State Patrol was called to a crash at Old National Highway and Sullivan Road just after 3:45 p.m., according to a statement.
Investigators determined that a silver Chevrolet Equinox veered off the right shoulder and struck a curb. It continued over the sidewalk and through the bus stop enclosure where two people had been waiting.
The pedestrians were taken to the hospital, according to the GSP. Their conditions were not disclosed.
In a video shared by ATL Uncensored on Twitter, one victim is seen lying in the parking lot behind the bus stop enclosure waving for help and unable to sit up. Another victim’s arm appeared to be caught under the shelter’s structure. That person did not respond when bystanders called out. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is not publishing the video due to its content.
It’s not clear what caused the crash, and the State Patrol did not immediately respond to a request to clarify if the driver will face charges.
