15 injured when pedal pub flips in Atlanta

Fifteen people were injured Saturday when the pedal pub they were riding overturned in midtown Atlanta, trapping some of them underneath.

The boozy bus, in which passengers pedal it at their leisure like a bicycle while drinking, was going too fast around 6:30 p.m. Saturday when it tried to make a sharp turn and instead flipped, officials told Fox 5.

Of the 15, two were critically injured and three were listed as serious, while the other 10 had minor injuries, a spokesperson for the Atlanta Fire Department confirmed to the Daily News Sunday. All were hospitalized after the accident.

A witness told Fox 5 that some passengers were trapped under the pedal pub and had to be freed by bystanders who rushed to help.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident.

Pedal Pub, based out of Minneapolis, boasts more than 60 franchised and licensed locations across the United States and Canada for its “party bike.” Each one can hold up to 15 people.

A spokesperson for Pedal Pub did not immediately return a request for updates from The News Sunday.
