Two People Hurt in Rear-End Crash on Highway 50 near Sunrise Boulevard [Rancho Cordova, CA]

Two Injured in Rancho Cordova Collision

 
RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (January 28, 2019) – Two people sustained minor injuries after a vehicle crashed into an on-duty Caltrans vehicle on Friday, January 25.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, at about 10 a.m., a 50-year-old man driving a Chevrolet Bolt westbound on Highway 50 near Sunrise Boulevard collided into the back of a Caltrans safety vehicle.
 
Officers stated that the man had looked away from the roadway, and when he looked back up, the Caltrans vehicle in front of him was moving slower than he had expected. The driver tried to stop but crashed with the Caltrans vehicle.
 
Both the driver of the Chevrolet Bolt and the Caltrans vehicle suffered minor injuries, according to officers. The driver of the Bolt was transported to UC Davis Medical Center.
 
To avoid getting involved in a rear-end crash, it is always best to leave more space between you and the vehicle in front. Following too closely not only increases your chance of hitting the vehicle in front but also guarantees you will be braking harder when that vehicle’s brakes are applied. This will cause the trailing vehicle to also brake rapidly, increasing the chance of a collision. Be prepared to accelerate and steer to where you want to go.
