ATLANTA — Emergency crews responded to an area of Midtown Atlanta Saturday evening after a traffic crash involving at least 15 people.
Atlanta Police said a "pedal pub," which is a vehicle where several passengers pedal on a large-scale bike while often consuming alcohol, is the root of the cause.
It happened at West Peachtree Street and 14th Street around 6:30 p.m. Part of the road was blocked off from traffic.
The vehicle, which can carry up to 15 passengers, had multiple people on board. As the peddlers were negotiating a turn, it toppled over, according to police.
