Atlanta / I-20
Crashes on I-20
The east–west interstate through the heart of Atlanta, crossing the Downtown Connector.
What makes I-20 different
- The interchange with the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85) south of Downtown
- Through-truck traffic heading east and west across the state
- Closely spaced exits through West End, Grant Park and East Atlanta
- Interchanges with I-285 on both sides of the city
Common crashes
| Crash | Typical cause |
|---|---|
| Interchange sideswipes | Drivers crossing lanes for the Connector |
| Truck crashes | Blind spots, wide turns, fatigue |
| Rear-ends | Sudden backups at exits |
Trucks
When a commercial truck is involved, the trucking company and federal safety rules may matter. Driver logs and truck data should be preserved early.
