Driver near Grass Valley on Highway 20 hospitalized after rear-ending large truck
A driver sustained critical injuries in a series of accidents that caused traffic delays on Highway 20 in Nevada County Friday morning, as confirmed by officials. The California Highway Patrol was called to the area between Grass Valley and Penn Valley at 8 a.m. following a collision involving a Volkswagen and a semi-truck. A subsequent incident occurred as drivers attempted to navigate around the initial crash.
