Minor Injuries Reported in Two-Vehicle Crash on Walerga Rd in North Highlands

A two-vehicle crash on Walerga Rd in North Highlands occurred Monday morning, July 28, 2025, at the intersection of Walerga and Antelope Road, resulting in minor injuries and temporary traffic delays. The crash took place around 7:16 a.m., just south of the SR-144/180 split and involved a black Dodge Challenger and a bluish-gray vehicle.

One of the vehicles came to rest in the left lane, but both were moved to the right-hand shoulder shortly after the incident. Emergency medical personnel treated at least one person at the scene for minor injuries. Tow services responded with a flatbed truck to remove the damaged vehicles. While the accident briefly disrupted the morning commute in the southbound lanes, no full road closures were necessary, and traffic returned to normal after the scene was cleared.
