[07-06-2020] Sacramento, CA – Injuries Reported After a Multi-Vehicle Collision on Highway 50

Several people were hurt after a four-vehicle traffic collision in Sacramento on Monday morning, July 6.

According to the California Highway Patrol’s initial reports, the multi-vehicle crash transpired at around 5:50 a.m. A Toyota pickup truck slammed into the center divider and struck several other vehicles. Due to the severity of the impact, the car rolled over on its side.

Firefighters and first responders went to the scene to render aid to people who were injured due to the accident. The total number of people that were injured is currently unclear. Three lanes of Highway 50 were closed down following the crash to give way for the investigation. Additional information about the accident is limited at the moment.

Head-On Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently further investigating the accident.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in California in 2017. Although head-on collisions only represent 2 percent of accidents, they account for 10 percent of fatalities on U.S. roadways. These accidents are caused by a variety of reasons, such as distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver over-fatigue.
