West Sacramento Fire Truck Rear Ended While Responding To Hit-And-Run Scene
WEST SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – An incident on Interstate 80 in West Sacramento ended with a fire truck hit and a man in in custody.
Just after midnight, California Highway Patrol officers say a hit-and-run accident was reported on eastbound I-80 near Enterprise.
Shortly after the crash, the driver got out of their truck and started running down the freeway.
When officers arrived, the man started fighting with them.
He was then taken into custody – but the situation didn't end there.
"Shortly after the initial collision, West Sacramento Fire Department was at the initial location with lights and flares laid out when a vehicle driving in the heavy fog with visibility of 30 to 100 feet was driving too fast, rear ended another car and rear ended the fire truck that had its lights on," said CHP Officer Adam Poole.
CHP officers believe the man arrested may have been under the influence of drugs.
