Injury Reported in Crash on US-50 West at CA-99 Interchange in Sacramento

A traffic crash on US-50 west at CA-99 interchange resulting in injuries was reported early Saturday evening, December 13, 2025, on westbound Hwy 50 at the interchange with southbound State Route 99 in Sacramento. The crash occurred at approximately 6:10 p.m., a time when traffic volumes are typically high due to weekend travel and commuter flow.

According to local reports, Sacramento Fire and Rescue units responded promptly to the scene. While the total number of vehicles involved has not yet been confirmed, at least one person sustained injuries in the collision. The severity of the injuries has not been publicly released.

The collision temporarily disrupted traffic through this heavily traveled interchange as emergency crews worked to assist the injured, manage traffic, and clear the roadway. California Highway Patrol officers are actively investigating the crash to determine contributing factors, including whether merging traffic patterns, speed, or reduced visibility played a role.

Freeway Interchange Safety: Why Extra Caution Matters

Freeway interchanges like the US-50 and CA-99 connector are among the most dangerous areas on the road due to frequent lane changes, high speeds, and merging traffic from multiple directions. Drivers should slow down, signal early, avoid sudden lane changes, and remain alert to surrounding vehicles—especially during peak travel hours. Exercising patience and defensive driving habits can significantly reduce the risk of serious collisions in these complex roadway environments.
