An Atlanta man has been charged in a wreck on Moreland Avenue that injured a MARTA officer Friday afternoon.

Tony Maurice Hill, 31, of Atlanta was driving with a suspended license and was also cited with failure to maintain lane and driving on the wrong side of the roadway during the accident, which occurred in the 600 block of Moreland Avenue, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

From the story:

Hill told officers he was driving southbound on Moreland when he was suddenly on the other side of the street, where he struck Anthony Rushin’s vehicle, according to Sgt. Greg Lyon.

Rushin, an off-duty MARTA officer, had to be extricated from his vehicle after the 7 a.m. wreck before being transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition hours later, a MARTA spokesperson said. Rushin has been with MARTA since 2000. He has been an officer since 2009.
