Head-on Crash Highway 160, Sherman Island Cross Road

Major Injury Collision on State Route 160 in South Sacramento

SOUTH SACRAMENTO, Calif., (April 30, 2026) — A major traffic collision involving a red pickup truck and a gray sedan resulted in serious injuries Thursday on Highway 160 near Sherman Island Cross Road and Victory Highway.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that the collision on April 30th around 3:07 p.m. in the northbound lanes just south of the overpass. Initial reports indicated a head-on collision between the vehicles, with all lanes closed due to the severity of the incident.

Emergency responders, including fire personnel, arrived at the scene to find the driver of the gray Nissan Altima conscious but trapped in the vehicle. The red pickup truck reportedly overturned and went off the roadway. Rescue efforts were complicated by traffic on the nearby Antioch bridge, with authorities initially struggling to extricate the trapped individual.

The situation escalated from a minor collision to a major injury incident as first responders worked to free and transport the injured parties. The CHP updated the incident status at 4:11 p.m., indicating that all lanes had been reopened following the clearance of the vehicles by Mach One Towing.

Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances leading up to the crash. Witnesses or anyone with information about the incident are urged to contact local law enforcement to assist in the ongoing investigation.
