ATLANTA — One person is dead after a dump truck crashed and flipped on its side in northwest Atlanta, police said.

Police arrived at the scene at around 5 a.m. on Wednesday and found a dump truck against a railroad bridge wall on Atlanta Road near Bolton Road.

Photos from the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s John Spink show police investigating the area with the truck on its side.

It is unclear if the person who died was the truck driver.
