Traffic on northbound Highway 99 in Sacramento took a hit this morning as a motorcycle crash left one rider injured. Around 6:36 a.m., a rider was found along the shoulder of the freeway near 12th Avenue, receiving medical treatment from first responders. While the California Highway Patrol reported that the collision involved a motorcycle and a sedan, the exact details surrounding the crash remain unclear.
As emergency personnel rushed to the scene, traffic began to back up significantly, causing frustration for drivers making their morning commute. Fortunately, the slow lane was the only one affected, but that didn’t stop the ripple effect of stop-and-go traffic from frustrating many. With wait times extending as riders and rescuers dealt with the situation, it’s clear that Highway 99 on a Monday morning isn’t the best way to start the week.
This incident serves as a reminder for all drivers to remain vigilant and cautious on the roads. After all, nobody wants their day derailed before it’s even started.
