On Wednesday afternoon, a multi-vehicle collision occurred on the northbound lanes of Highway 99 near 47th Avenue in Sacramento, involving a California Highway Patrol (CHP) cruiser among the four vehicles. The incident caused significant traffic disruptions.
The collision was initially reported at approximately 3:45 p.m., leading to a complete closure of the affected portion of the highway. Emergency responders were quick to arrive at the site of the crash to assess and manage the situation.
The CHP confirmed the involvement of one of their patrol vehicles in the accident, although details about the cause of the collision or the identities of those involved remained undisclosed to the public.
Despite emergency services promptly dispatching at least one ambulance to the scene, the full extent of any injuries sustained by individuals involved in the crash has not yet been clarified. The CHP South Sacramento office was unable to provide further information immediately following the incident.
Cleanup crews and towing services were called to the area to facilitate the removal of the damaged vehicles and to help restore normal traffic flow. By 5 p.m., the CHP dispatch had announced that all lanes of Highway 99 had been reopened, allowing traffic to move freely once again.
