No one was injured in a two-vehicle crash that caused one vehicle to roll onto its top at the intersection of Athens and Atlanta roads on Friday evening, authorities said.

The two vehicles, a white Kia Sportage and a white Chevrolet Equinox, were reportedly traveling in opposite directions on Atlanta Road when the westbound Kia reportedly turned south onto Athens Road in front of the Equinox, authorities said.

The Kia came to rest against a utility pole, but emergency workers said the pole was not damaged. The Kia had to be towed away on a tow truck, while the Equinox was still able to be driven.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
