Chico, CA – Two Injured in Bus and Sedan Crash on East Ave at Hwy 99 Off-Ramp

Chico, CA (July 16, 2025) – Two people were transported to the hospital following a crash involving a B-Line transit bus and a sedan at the intersection of East Ave and the northbound off-ramp from Highway 99 in Chico on Wednesday morning.

The collision occurred just after 8:30 a.m. and prompted a swift response from the Chico Police Department, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel. Upon arrival, responders found visible damage to both the bus and the sedan. Both drivers sustained minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment.

No passengers on the bus were injured. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, though it remains unclear whether factors such as yielding, visibility, or signal timing at the intersection contributed to the incident.

Traffic in the area was briefly affected as crews worked to clear the scene and investigate the collision.

We wish both injured individuals a full and speedy recovery.

Commercial Truck Collisions in California

Crashes involving 18-wheelers, big rigs, and freight trucks are common on major routes like I-5, I-80, and corridors through the San Joaquin Valley. Due to their massive size, commercial trucks often cause severe injuries in a collision, including spinal trauma, brain injuries, or permanent disability. These crashes are often complex. Large trucks are subject to strict safety regulations that encompass maintenance, driver schedules, and cargo handling. When those rules are disregarded, the likelihood of a crash increases significantly. Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and cargo contractors. Identifying fault requires quick access to driver logs, black box data, and inspection records. Across California, in areas such as Sacramento and other major cities, these incidents are common; that’s why getting legal support from an experienced Sacramento truck accident lawyer is critical.
