A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on eastbound U.S. Highway 50 at Stockton Boulevard in Sacramento, CA. The incident was reported around 6:25 PM and involved a white Toyota, a blue Chevrolet, and a yellow Jeep SUV, all of which were confirmed to be driveable. An additional vehicle reportedly fled the scene and is not accounted for.
As a result of the collision, lane closures were implemented in the construction area, which is likely to cause delays for drivers in the area. Emergency response units were dispatched to manage traffic and control the scene effectively. The vehicles were moved to the right-hand side of the highway, but drivers may still experience some backup as crews work to clear the area.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating through the construction zone and to expect possible congestion as the situation develops. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure safety and minimize disruption for evening commuters.
As traffic increases during the evening hours, drivers are encouraged to consider alternative routes to avoid potential delays. This traffic incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant and adhering to posted signs in construction areas.
