1 Killed, 3 Injured in Multi-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 5 [Sacramento, CA]

Police Investigate Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 5 in Sacramento

Sacramento, CA (January 27, 2023) – Thursday night, one person died, and three others sustained injuries in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 5.

The fatal multi-vehicle crash in Sacramento happened around 9:30 p.m. on January 26, north of J Street.

CHP said a driver who had broken down was waiting for AAA in the interstate’s middle divider. A Lexus then approached and parked next to the tow truck after the driver of their tow vehicle had pulled over in the #1 lane.

Then a 24-year-old Stockton guy operating a Toyota rear-ended the Lexus. The Lexus’s driver moved into the barrier and started directing traffic around the Toyota that had stalled.

Moreover, a 52-year-old Clarksburg man operating a Ford F-150 was traveling south on I-5 when he swerved to miss the Toyota and also pulled into the center divider.

A 29-year-old male from Kelso, Washington, was operating a Hyundai when he rear-ended a stopped Toyota.

The Toyota spun sideways into the rear of the Ford F-150, killing the Toyota’s front passenger – a 67-year-old man from Stockton – and leaving the rear right passenger trapped inside.

Reportedly, one person died, and three patients were injured.

Further investigation into this crash is ongoing.
