Crash involving 3 big rigs closes 2 lanes of Interstate 5 in Natomas, CHP says
A collision involving multiple big rigs Tuesday morning blocked two lanes of northbound Interstate 5 just before Arena Boulevard in the Natomas area of Sacramento, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported about 11:15 a.m. and involved a car and three semitrucks, with one of the trucks reportedly speeding and performing an unsafe merge just south of Arena Boulevard, according to CHP’s incident log. At least one of the trucks began leaking fuel onto the roadway, requiring a hazardous materials response.
The two left lanes of northbound I-5 were initially blocked as of 11:40 a.m. All lanes were back open by 1 p.m.
No other details were immediately available.
