SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — One woman is dead after a rollover crash in Sacramento County.
The California Highway Patrol said the crash happened Saturday evening, around 7:38 p.m., near I-5 north of Hood-Franklin Road.
In a Facebook post, CHP-South Sacramento said they were initially notified of a reckless driver in a white SUV along I-5 southbound at Laguna Boulevard. A short time later, dispatchers sent notice about a crash just south of that location about a white SUV that rolled over and was on its roof east of the freeway in a field.
Authorities said the white SUV, described as a Mercedes-Benz, had lost control while heading southbound along I-5 and veered across the center median, crossed over the northbound lanes, traveled down the east roadway edge embankment, and rolled over, CHP said. Authorities said the driver, a 32-year-old woman out of Sacramento, was killed in the crash.
Two infants that survived the crash were found in the vehicle and taken to UC Davis as a precaution. CHP said they were later released to their father with no injuries.
It's not known whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash, CHP said.
