A traffic collision on US Highway 50 West in Sacramento, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions today during the afternoon commute. The incident occurred around 12:32 PM and involved four vehicles: a black Volkswagen Passat, a blue 2020 Toyota Corolla, a Ford Raptor, and an unidentified vehicle.
The blue Toyota Corolla was moved to the side of the roadway, leaving minimal clearance, while the Ford Raptor and a silver Toyota Corolla were involved in a separate two-vehicle collision, with one party leaving the scene. This situation resulted in local lanes, including a slow lane, being partially blocked, leading to traffic congestion and delays for motorists in the area.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol arrived promptly to establish control and manage traffic flow. By 12:55 PM, all vehicles involved were successfully repositioned to a nearby Chevron plot, allowing the roadway to be cleared and traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious as residual delays may still be experienced following the incident. This traffic collision highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during busy travel times.
