Emergency personnel responded to the scene of a crash in Atlanta that reportedly injured over a dozen people.
WAGA-TV reported that a pedal pub crashed in Atlanta's midtown area leaving a total of 16 people injured.
"This was a single vehicle accident," the Atlanta Police Department said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "A ‘pedal pub’ with multiple passengers was trying to negotiate a turn but was apparently going too fast and turned over. A number of people were injured but nobody was critical."

The fire commander on scene says no other vehicles were involved. It’s not clear how the accident happened yet. An investigation is underway.
Too much to drink?
Alcohol abuse!
Does pedal pub mean you get drunk while being towed around?
I suspect alcohol was involved.
probably had a fat ass or 2 on the side that went over first!!...
Drinking while pedaling. Not a good combo apparently.
Ouch, that’s brutal.
Maybe texting while driving.
I’d be embarrassed to ride on that thing.
That combined with the piss poor quality of City of Atlanta roads, which are approaching 3rd World level. CoA is only about 10% of the population of the metro area.
Breathalyzer tests for everyone on the pedal pub vehicle.
Remember: “If you drink, don’t pedal; and don’t drink while you pedal.”
A “mass casualty incident”
Then “16 people injured.”
Then “A number of people were injured but nobody was critical.”
What’s next? “A few of the riders were tipsy, but nobody was injured.”
Finally everyone had a good laugh.
Not towed around, the drinkers pedal themselves around. Photos of pedal pubs on Google show they each have a driver, who presumably does not drink.
Atlanta is a war zone.
That place is a cancer that is steadily spreading across central Georgia.
When I first got here about 15 years ago I was on the Jonesboro/Fayetville line.
It was a fairly nice but built up area then, I moved myself about an hour south and when I absolutely have to go back up that way you can be damn sure there’s a gun in my pocket.
Even being an hour away in the woods I’m seeing it slowly creep in.
To heck with the people, what happened to the beer?
They pretty much had to TRY to tip it. Probably a bunch of drunks thinking if they rocked enough, they could get it up on 2 wheels. Now the drunk idiots will go for the cash grab.
“Casualty”
These, ladies and gentlemen, are “Journalists”.
