CHP: Suspect crashes along Highway 99 after fleeing traffic stop near Galt

While both directions of Highway 99 have since reopened, traffic is still trying to make its way through the area.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — A portion of Highway 99 was temporarily closed south of Elk Grove due to police activity, according to Caltrans.

California Highway Patrol spokesperson Officer Mark Leavitt said the closing and lingering backup along the highway was related to a traffic stop and chase that started near Galt along Highway 99.

After the car took off, it crashed and rolled over, leaving the driver with moderate injuries, according to CHP.

Charges are still being determined as the driver is being taken to a hospital for treatment.
