A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on State Route 51 North at the Howe Avenue Off-Ramp in Sacramento, CA. The incident took place around 3:20 PM and involved a brown SUV, a silver sedan, and a gray SUV.

Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. A tow truck was called to remove at least one of the vehicles involved, while the other two remained drivable.
