Traffic backed up on northbound Highway 99 Friday morning following a collision near the 12th Avenue on-ramp.

A six-car crash blocked both lanes of the 12th Avenue ramp onto northbound Highway 99 Friday morning, according to California Highway Patrol logs.

About 20 minutes after the crash was reported at 9:15 a.m., CHP activity log entries indicate a fight broke out at the on-ramp. No other details were immediately available.

The collision primarily involved a pickup truck and a sedan, with four other vehicles also involved, according to the CHP log.

The CHP incident was closed by 11 a.m. and traffic on Highway 99 cleared up by that time.

An ambulance was dispatched to the scene because of an infant in one of the vehicles, according to CHP log entries, but only minor injuries were reported by a later update.
