There were no injuries reported, and crews from CHP, Caltrans, and towing services teamed up to clear the scene and restore the traffic flow as fast as they could.
Let this be a reminder: If you miss your exit, don’t risk a last-minute maneuver—just take the next exit and safely turn around, said CHP South Sacramento. “One small mistake can cost far more than a few extra minutes.”
All lanes are now open for traffic, according to CHP.
