Car Crash Atlanta Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia: A Norfolk Southern train collided with a tractor-trailer in southwest Atlanta near where Sylvan Road crosses over the train tracks, an area south of downtown with several at-grade rail crossings. The collision caused the cab of the truck to catch fire and left extensive damage to the trailer; fire crews extinguished the blaze. Officials have not located the driver and do not know the extent of that person's injuries. The crash led to a temporary suspension of MARTA service on the Red and Gold lines, which was later restored after inspectors cleared the structure, and caused road closures in Atlanta's West End neighborhood.
