A two-vehicle collision caused a portion of Sunrise Boulevard to be temporarily closed after sending one vehicle into a tree and several people to the hospital Sunday, according to a sergeant with the Citrus Heights Police Department.
Around 5 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a call of a vehicle collision with a tree, where officers on scene discovered that two vehicles had collided, causing one to end up off the road and into a tree, according to CHPD Sergeant Michael Wells.
Police said several people from both vehicles were transported to the hospital “for complaints of pain and precautionary reasons,” and portions of Sunrise Boulevard near Sayonara Drive up to Oak Avenue were closed while vehicles were towed from the scene.
Sunrise Boulevard was reopened shortly after 6 p.m.
