SACRAMENTO — Three people were hospitalized, with one in critical condition, following a three-vehicle crash in the north Sacramento area, police said Wednesday.

The Sacramento Fire Department said it happened shortly after 6:30 p.m. in the area of Auburn Boulevard and Fulton Avenue.

As captured on a dash camera from another vehicle at the scene, a car that ran a red light at the intersection crashed into two cars that had the green light. The cars struck were already halfway through the crossing when the red light runner crashed into them.

The other two people suffered injuries that weren't life-threatening.
