An Amazon semitruck hydroplaned on Highway 50 in Sacramento, blocking several lanes due to the heavy rainfall from an atmospheric river storm. The incident occurred around 10 a.m. Saturday and resulted in damage to the center divide, causing significant traffic delays for eight hours. During the cleanup, only two lanes remained open for traffic. Forecasts predict ongoing rain with gusty winds in the region, prompting authorities to advise drivers to be cautious on slick roads in the coming days.
The truck slid across traffic on Highway 50 due to the atmospheric river storm, majorly impacting traffic for several hours before the highway reopened.
The unexpected hydroplaning of the Amazon semitruck demonstrated the dangers of driving during heavy rainfall and the importance of road safety.
Repair work allowed traffic to squeeze by in two lanes, but full road accessibility was only restored after significant cleanup efforts post-incident.
With more rain expected throughout the week, drivers in Northern California are urged to exercise caution on slick roads.
