Sacramento, CA โ A three-vehicle crash caused major traffic delays this afternoon on U.S. Highway 50 East, near the intersection with Stockton Boulevard. The incident occurred around 3:00 PM, involving a white Audi, a white Hyundai Sonata, and a third unidentified vehicle.
One of the vehicles became undriveable and required a tow truck for removal. Initially, the crash blocked one lane, leading to significant congestion for commuters. Emergency response teams arrived swiftly to secure the area and redirect traffic.
By 3:13 PM, the blocked lane was cleared, and normal traffic flow resumed, though residual delays were expected to continue into the afternoon.
โCrews worked fast to prevent a total shutdown of eastbound traffic,โ said a CHP spokesperson. โMotorists should still drive cautiously as congestion clears.โ
