070302 - ATLANTA/ FULTON COUNTY, GA -- A charter bus, reportedly carrying members of a baseball team from Ohio, crashed onto I-75 from an overpass at Northside Drive early Friday morning, March 2, 2007 injuring some passengers and closing the southbound lanes of the interstate. Television station WSB reported one person had been killed. One eyewitness said the bus was heading southbound in the HOV lane and exited on the HOV ramp onto Northside Drive bridge traveling at least 60 mph. The bus reportedly drove across and over the Northside Drive bridge, went airborne and fell back onto I-75 where it landed on its side. The accident occurred at 5:38 a.m. On Northside Drive, above the wreck, luggage was scattered on the road, apparently dislodged from the bus when it hit the bridge's 2-foot-high retaining wall and crashed through a 10-foot-high fence atop the wall. Northbound traffic was moving past the accident scene. Police were directing drivers in the southbound lanes to turn around and go north on the southbound lanes to the Howell Mill exit. They were moving out cars first, to make room for several tractor-trailers to turn around. (JOHN SPINK / AJC staff)
