SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
One person is dead after a major crash Friday morning in Sacramento, officials said.
The Sacramento Police Department said the crash involving two vehicles happened just after 6:15 a.m. near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and 22nd Avenue.
Inside one vehicle, there was a driver and a passenger, while there was only a driver in the other vehicle, police said. The person who died was the passenger.
Details were not released on the condition of the other two people. A KCRA 3 crew observed two vehicles on their side, with one of the vehicles appearing to have its top sheared off.
Details were not released about what led to the crash.
At the scene are Sacramento police and officers with the California Highway Patrol because each agency has jurisdiction over one half of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The roadway is closed from 21st Avenue to 22nd Avenue. There is no estimated time of reopening.
Stay with KCRA 3 as we work to gather details.
