SACRAMENTO, Calif. — One person was killed in a crash in the Arden-Arcade area and four others were taken to the hospital, according to California Highway Patrol. 

The crash happened in the 2600 block of Fulton Avenue near Elvyra Way around 5:37 p.m. 

CHP says a Toyota SUV, driven by a 50-year-old man, was driving southbound in the #2 lane on Fulton Avenue just south of Marconi when he rear-ended a Dodge pickup truck driven by a 50-year-old man. 

The pickup truck overturned and landed off the roadway, killing the driver and injuring the female passenger. 

The driver of the Toyota continued forward and hit a Volkswagen SUV driven by a woman in her 30's with a baby in the car, CHP says. 

Both women were taken to the hospital with minor injuries and the baby was taken to the hospital as a precaution, CHP says.
