A traffic collision involving at least two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound side of U.S. Highway 50 near Jefferson Boulevard Off-Ramp in West Sacramento, CA. The incident took place around 5:25 PM and involved a white small sedan and a white pickup truck, with a possibility of a third vehicle, a silver jeep.

Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, and while the status of any injuries remains unknown, the collision led to temporary lane closures for towing operations. The vehicles were initially located in the express lane, prompting a coordinated effort to clear the area safely.

By 6:00 PM, both lanes were temporarily shut down to allow a tow truck to maneuver into position. Fortunately, by 6:02 PM, one lane was reopened, and by 6:10 PM, all vehicles had been moved, allowing both lanes to reopen fully.

The swift response from emergency services and towing crews helped minimize disruption to traffic in the area. Motorists are reminded to exercise caution and be aware of potential delays near U.S. Highway 50 and Jefferson Boulevard as the situation was resolved.

This incident underscores the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to remain vigilant while navigating busy highways.
