A portion of the interchange between Business 80 and Highway 50 in downtown Sacramento is closed due to a collision involving a big-rig, officials said.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident occurred shortly after 6 a.m. on the connector ramp from westbound Business 80 to westbound 50. The truck reportedly struck a vehicle before it jackknifed on the connector ramp and caught fire.
At one point, a part of the big-rig was hanging over the railing. Officials said the big-rig was carrying about 50,000 pounds of packaged meat.
