Firefighters rushed to a major injury accident early Sunday on southbound Highway 65 near Sunset Boulevard, where multiple patients were treated at the scene before being transported to area hospitals. The number 1 lane of the highway was closed while crews worked to clear the crash.
CAL FIRE NEU and Placer County Fire Department firefighters from Sunset Station 77 responded to the crash, according to a CAL FIRE NEU post on Facebook. The agency said multiple patients were treated on scene and then transported to area hospitals, while the number 1 lane remained closed as crews cleared the wreckage.
What We Still Don't Know
Key details about the crash remain unconfirmed. The exact time of the collision, what caused it, how many vehicles were involved, the identities or conditions of those hurt, and how long the lane closure lasted have not been independently verified.
CAL FIRE NEU covers a wide swath of the northern Sacramento Valley foothills. Per a separate Facebook post from the unit, the CAL FIRE Nevada Yuba Placer Unit encompasses the counties of Nevada, Yuba, and Placer — the same jurisdiction where Sunset Station 77 crews operate.
Checking Back For Updates
Hoodline will update this story if CAL FIRE NEU or Placer County officials release further details on the crash, the condition of the patients transported, or when the lane closure was lifted.
