A freight train derailed and crashed into a south-west Atlanta home on Thursday, Oct. 5. One man inside the house was transported to a hospital, but was in stable condition, according to Sgt. Cortez Stafford, Atlanta fire department spokesman.

About 14 of the almost 200 train cars derailed near Andrews and Eason Streets at about 3 a.m. The cars rammed into a two-story house and knocked it off its foundation.
