North Sacramento, CA (July 22, 2025) – A multi-vehicle crash on westbound Interstate 80 near Elkhorn Blvd left at least two people with injuries Tuesday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The incident occurred around 7:43 a.m., involving three vehicles: a red Honda Odyssey, a black Cadillac SUV, and a white Ford pickup. The crash caused significant traffic disruption, with one vehicle blocking the No. 5 (slow) lane, while another was immobilized in the area.
At least one individual complained of chest pains, and another reported back pain, which required immediate medical attention. Paramedics treated the injured at the scene before transporting them to nearby hospitals. While the crash was later reclassified as a non-injury incident, the reported symptoms suggest that some injuries may have been minor or delayed.
Fire crews, along with Freeway Service Patrol units, worked to clear the wreckage and manage traffic, restoring normal flow by approximately 8:06 a.m.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, with authorities looking into potential factors such as speed or driver error. We wish a full and speedy recovery to those impacted by this morning’s collision.
