Concrete Truck Overturned on 47th Avenue in South Sacramento, Slowing Morning Commute

A concrete truck overturned on 47th Avenue in South Sacramento early Tuesday morning, November 25, 2025, causing delays for commuters in the area. The Sacramento Police Department reported that the solo-vehicle crash occurred just before 5:40 a.m. along 47th Avenue, just west of Stockton Boulevard.

The truck tipped onto the center median, blocking one lane in each direction. While traffic continued to move, drivers slowed significantly as they passed the overturned vehicle. Fortunately, the truck driver was not injured.

Sacramento Fire crews responded initially but later cleared the scene. Tow operators worked for several hours to upright the truck and clear spilled concrete from the roadway.

Driver Safety Reminder: Sharing the Road with Large Trucks

Heavy commercial vehicles like cement trucks require more time to brake, wider turns, and additional space in traffic. Giving trucks plenty of room, avoiding blind spots, and staying patient during lane changes can help reduce collisions and keep everyone safe, especially during busy morning commutes when visibility and reaction times are limited.
