ATLANTA -- An Atlanta police officer is recovering after his patrol car overturned early Wednesday morning as he responded to a call in southwest Atlanta.
According to Atlanta Police Lt. Marilyn Bighon, the officer was en route to assist a second officer when the wreck happened near the intersection of Metropolitan Parkway and Deckner Avenue in southwest Atlanta.
Bighon said the officer blacked out when his cruiser rolled over and he was unable to get out of his seat belt.
