Street sweeper hangs off W/X Freeway in Sacramento after crash
SACRAMENTO – Part of a street sweeper is hanging off of the W/X Freeway in Sacramento on Friday morning.
The crash happened just before 7 a.m. on Highway 50, near the Interstate 5 connector.
Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but it appears a vehicle used to clean roads was involved.
At least one tire and part of the cab of the street sweeper are hanging off the side of the raised portion of the freeway that runs parallel to W and X streets in Sacramento.
It's unclear what led up to the crash. No injuries were reported, CHP says.
Caltrans said all westbound Highway 50 traffic was being diverted to northbound Interstate 5 through the morning due to the crash. All lanes were reopened shortly before 11:45 a.m.
Sacramento freeways have been dealing with a multitude of incidents on Friday, including just up the road a bit on southbound I-5 where an overturned big rig and car fire have traffic snarled.
