CHP vehicle involved in Highway 99 crash in Sacramento
SACRAMENTO — A California Highway Patrol officer was involved in a crash along a south Sacramento highway late Wednesday afternoon.
South Sacramento's CHP division said two other vehicles were involved in the collision. Minor injuries were reported, but no one needed to be taken to a hospital.
The crash happened shortly after 3:45 p.m. along northbound Highway 99 near the 47th Avenue exit. An image from the scene shows heavy front-end damage to the CHP vehicle.
It was not yet clear what caused the crash.
Traffic was delayed in the area briefly but all highway lanes have since reopened.
This was the second collision involving a CHP vehicle on Wednesday. West of the city, in Davis, two CHP officers were injured when a wrong-way driver crashed into their vehicle on Interstate 80.
