Police: Suspect attempted to hit man with car at Kennesaw gas station

A suspect is facing assault charges after police say he attempted to back his car into a man after an argument at a Kennesaw gas station. Curtis Stewart, 43, of Atlanta, is accused of driving his car in reverse toward a man during an incident at a Quik Trip gas station located at 2761 Cobb Parkway, at the intersection with Watts Drive. The incident occurred at approximately 11:35 a.m. Oct. 22 and began after a verbal argument broke out with the victim about their usage of the gas station’s air pump station.

Semi-truck driver seriously injured in crash on I-75

Cobb police are investigating a one-vehicle collision involving a semi-truck, which occurred on I-75 northbound north of Wade Green Road on November 10, 2026, at approximately 2:37 a.m. The driver was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. According to a news release, a red 2020 Freightliner Cascadia commercial road tractor– which was pulling an intermodal trailer— was traveling north on I-75 approaching Hickory Grove Road in the right lane. The driver failed to maintain his lane, and veered onto the grass shoulder bordering the eastern edge of I-75. It began to rotate side-to-side around its vertical axis in a counter-clockwise direction, while still moving north. The semi then rolled onto its right side before colliding with the concrete barrier which separates I-75 from the Northwest Corridor. The driver was then ejected from the vehicle and into the left lane of travel, as the tractor came to a final, uncontrolled rest. The collision is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Cobb County Police Department at (770) 499-3987.

Rainbow Village receives $1.1 million federal grant to expand housing and services for homeless families

Rainbow Village is receiving a $1.1 million federal investment to help expand housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness, marking a significant milestone in the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to address housing instability across Metro Atlanta. Approximately two years into its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, the organization was awarded the funding through the Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding (CPF) process, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding was secured through the efforts of Senator Raphael Warnock. The investment comes as Rainbow Village prepares for one of the most transformative expansions in its 35-year history.
