The facility is overseen by a medical doctor, and trained paramedics or registered nurses are available at all times.

Two separate multi-vehicle accidents took place simultaneously, causing disruptions in the southbound lanes of I-75 near the S Loop and on the S Loop of South Marietta Parkway. The authorities have not yet determined the cause of the accidents, and traffic investigators are present at the scene.
