A traffic collision on US Highway 50 West in Sacramento, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the evening commute. The incident, which occurred around 7:53 PM, involved three vehicles: a red Kia Nero that collided with a pole, a silver Volkswagen GTI that was stopped behind the Kia, and another red Kia that struck an attenuator.
Emergency response units quickly arrived on the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. The roadway was reported to have water on the surface due to displaced attenuator material, leading to lane slow-downs and potential congestion. The driveability of at least one of the red Kia vehicles was uncertain, while the silver Volkswagen GTI remained stationary with hazard lights activated.
Traffic management efforts were implemented to minimize delays, but motorists should expect backups in the area as crews work to clear the scene and assess vehicle conditions. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the involved vehicles.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this section of US Highway 50 West and to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid delays. The situation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
