North Highlands, CA – Injuries After Collision at Walerga Rd and Antelope Rd

North Highlands, CA (July 28, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash resulting in minor injuries occurred Monday morning at the intersection of Walerga Rd and Antelope Rd in North Highlands, prompting a swift response from emergency crews.

The crash occurred around 7:16 a.m., just south of the SR-144/180 split, involving a black Dodge Challenger and a bluish-gray vehicle. One of the vehicles came to rest in the left lane before both were moved to the right-hand shoulder. Authorities confirmed that at least one person sustained minor injuries and was treated on-site by emergency medical personnel.

Tow services were called to the scene, with WAP Towing dispatching a flatbed truck to remove the damaged vehicles. The crash caused brief disruptions to the morning commute, particularly in the southbound lanes of Walerga Rd, but no major road closures were needed. Traffic gradually returned to normal after the scene was cleared.

The California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the collision, with factors like speeding, failure to yield, and other potential causes under review.

We hope for a quick and full recovery for those injured in this incident.
