A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound side of U.S. Highway 50 near the Folsom Boulevard off-ramp in Folsom, CA. The incident took place shortly after midnight when a blue flatbed semi-truck switched lanes and struck a silver Toyota Camry. Both vehicles came to a stop on the right side of the road, with the Camry requiring towing.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, and a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the damaged Camry. Fortunately, no injuries have been confirmed at this time, although the status of any potential injuries remains unknown.
