(Sacramento, CA) A man died after colliding with a truck in an active construction zone on Highway 50 in Sacramento on Wednesday morning.
Around 2:00 a.m., California Highway Patrol officers responded to a report of an accident on the westbound side of the highway near 51st Street to investigate. At the scene, authorities discovered a terrible crash involving an SUV and a one-ton truck.
The truck was towing a trailer with an activated arrow board, and two employees were inside the vehicle.
