SACRAMENTO, Sacramento County, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 — A high-speed crash involving at least two vehicles shut down lanes on southbound SR-99 near the Florin Road East onramp on Thursday morning, October 29. One vehicle reportedly left the roadway and came to rest in a ditch.
The California Highway Patrol's incident log describes a gray Toyota Corolla colliding with another vehicle and also striking a sound wall along the right shoulder. Debris was reported in the slow lane, and the log notes at least one additional vehicle off the roadway on the right side. A caller reported someone trapped inside one of the vehicles, prompting an extrication response.
A second vehicle, described in dispatch notes as a gray sedan, was also involved, and callers reported another vehicle down in a ditch nearby. It remains unclear how many people were hurt or the extent of their injuries, though the response to a person trapped in a vehicle suggests at least one occupant needed extrication help. A tow truck was later requested to remove a damaged Toyota Corolla from the scene.
The crash remains under investigation. No information on what caused the vehicles to collide, including possible speed as a factor, has been released, though the CHP log characterizes the collision as high-speed. The agency has not said whether citations or further findings are expected.
We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full and speedy recovery.
