Two-Vehicle Crash Closes Lanes on Highway 50 in Sacramento

On Tuesday afternoon, July 8, 2025, a two-vehicle crash closes lanes on Highway 50 westbound near the 65th Street exit in Sacramento. Emergency crews responded to the scene at approximately 4:00 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol (CHP) traffic logs.

Driver Awareness: Congested Highway Zones Require Caution

Accidents near highway exits, like the 65th Street off-ramp, often occur due to sudden lane changes, speed differentials, and distracted driving. Drivers are reminded to remain alert, reduce speed when approaching congested areas, and use signals when merging or exiting. Even minor collisions can result in significant traffic disruption and potential injuries, reinforcing the need for vigilance in high-traffic zones.
