Seven-car pileup blocks three lanes of I-5 Tuesday morning, CHP says
A seven-vehicle collision stalled southbound Interstate 5 traffic at Del Paso Road for about an hour Tuesday morning, according to California Highway Patrol incident logs.
The crash was reported just after 6:45 a.m., and Sacramento Fire Department crews were dispatched due to a baby in one of the vehicles, according to CHP logs, which later indicated injuries were minor.
The collision and emergency response blocked the right three lanes of traffic for about 45 minutes. All lanes were reopened just after 7:45 a.m.
The incident backed up commuter traffic onto southbound Highway 99, north of West Elkhorn Boulevard, Caltrans traffic cameras showed.
