A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on the Interstate 5 North at the Del Paso Road off-ramp in Sacramento, CA. The incident took place around noon and involved a black Dodge 4-door, a white Volkswagen Jetta, and a grey Honda sedan, with one vehicle remaining unconfirmed in description.
