Highway 50 traffic halted due to helicopter accident; injuries confirmed
Emergency responders are at the scene of a helicopter accident on Highway 50 on Monday evening, as reported by the California Highway Patrol. The crash was noted in CHP traffic logs around 7 p.m. near 59th Street on the eastbound side of the highway. Traffic cameras from Caltrans show significant backups on the highway as a result of the incident, which is likely to cause a prolonged closure. While injuries have been confirmed, details on the number of people injured and the severity of their injuries are still unknown. Although the type of helicopter that crashed has not been officially disclosed, a witness-shared photo showed what appeared to be a red medical helicopter. Sacramento Councilmember Lisa Kaplan uploaded a picture showing the heavy traffic congestion in the vicinity of the crash. Updates on this developing situation will be provided by KCRA 3.
