Crews inspecting bridge under construction over Highway 50 in West Sacramento after deadly crash
WEST SACRAMENTO — The westbound side of Highway 50 through West Sacramento was closed for most of the early morning hours Monday due to a crash.
California Highway Patrol says, just after midnight, a vehicle was involved in a crash with the pedestrian overpass that is currently under construction.
Officers later confirmed that the crash was fatal.
Bridge inspection crews were called to the scene. Due to the crash, all westbound lanes at Harbor Boulevard were closed until Caltrans could fully inspect and clear the structure.
No timetable of when the Highway 50 lanes would reopen was given, but traffic started flowing again just before 7 a.m.
