A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound side of State Route 51 at the Arden Way on-ramp in Sacramento, CA. The incident involved a brown Toyota RAV4 and a white pickup truck. Emergency services were dispatched shortly after the accident was reported at approximately 7:41 AM.
The RAV4 flipped over and ended up in a ditch, trapping one occupant inside. Fire crews arrived to assist with the extraction of the individual, who was later transported to a local hospital with unknown injuries. The RAV4 was deemed undriveable due to the damage sustained in the crash.
The collision caused significant traffic disruptions, with multiple lanes blocked as emergency personnel worked to clear the scene. By 8:00 AM, some traffic was reported to be moving at freeway speeds, but congestion remained due to the ongoing response efforts.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the damaged vehicles, particularly the RAV4, which suffered major damage. Authorities advised drivers to exercise caution and seek alternate routes while the situation was being resolved.
