SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- Sacramento Police are investigating a fatal crash that happened around 7:45 p.m. Friday.

Police say they responded to a three car crash at Broadway and 42nd Street in South Sacramento to find that one of the people involved in the crash, a man, was still pinned inside one of the vehicles and had sustained life-threatening injuries.
