A traffic collision on Elverta Road at State Route 99 North in Sacramento, CA, caused significant disruptions to the morning commute today. The incident involved three vehicles: a black vehicle that struck a pole, an overturned black SUV lying on the shoulder, and a black Jeep resting on its side.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic control and ensure safety around the damaged structures and obstructions. The California Department of Transportation implemented lane closures along Elverta Road, leading to delays and congestion for drivers in the area.
At approximately 9:14 AM, reports indicated that power lines were on fire due to the collision, prompting further action from utility services. By 10:27 AM, both directions of Elverta Road were closed as crews worked to address the situation.
