Overturned box truck causes traffic mess near Highway 70, 99 connector in Sutter County
SUTTER COUNTY – An overturned truck caused a mess of traffic at the Highway 70 and 99 split in Sutter County early Wednesday morning.
The crash happened just before 2:30 a.m. right near the southbound connector of the two freeways north of Sacramento.
Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but a box truck ended up on its side and blocked the highway. Another vehicle then crashed into the truck after it overturned.
