A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound side of U.S. Highway 50 near the Sunrise Boulevard on-ramp in Rancho Cordova, CA. The incident took place around 7:27 PM and was attributed to hydroplaning conditions on the roadway, which caused one vehicle to lose control.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where a white Tesla and a white Hyundai sedan were involved in the crash. At least one vehicle was towed from the location as responders worked to ensure the safety of other motorists. Reports indicated that standing water on the roadway contributed to the hazardous conditions.
As a result of the collision, one to two lanes were closed to facilitate emergency response and clean-up efforts. Traffic was impacted as drivers were advised to slow down due to the presence of emergency vehicles and the unsafe driving conditions.
The status of any injuries remains unknown at this time. By approximately 8:19 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. Motorists are reminded to exercise caution during inclement weather to prevent similar incidents in the future.
