SACRAMENTO, CA (August 25, 2023) – A woman died and a man was injured in a rear-end accident on Highway 99 in Sacramento Monday afternoon on August 21.
 
The fatal accident happened around 2:20 p.m. at the Highway 50 split. According to a California Highway Patrol, a 22-year-old man was driving a Toyota sedan in the second lane from Highway 99 northbound behind a Peterbilt dump truck, driven by a 65-year-old Pacific House man.
