A hit-and-run incident occurred early this morning on the westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 50 near Mather Field Road Off-Ramp in Rancho Cordova, CA. At approximately 3:21 AM, a collision involving two vehicles—a black GMC Sonoma and a possible van—resulted in significant damage. The GMC Sonoma was found flipped on its side, but fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, managing the situation and ensuring the safety of the area. Due to the condition of the GMC Sonoma, a tow truck was called to remove the vehicle from the roadway. It is believed that the driver of the GMC Sonoma fled the scene after the collision.
