A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 99 South near the Mack Road East off-ramp in Sacramento, CA. The incident took place around 8:50 PM and involved a KIA Telluride and an unidentified SUV.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, arriving shortly after the collision was reported. Both vehicles were found on the right-hand shoulder of the highway, with one vehicle in a ditch and debris scattered across lane four. Fortunately, the report did not specify any injuries resulting from the incident.
Initially, a tow truck was requested to assist with the vehicles involved. However, this request was canceled shortly after being made, suggesting that the KIA Telluride was likely drivable.
