SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA : 18-year-old dies in fiery crash on Highway 50 near Howe Avenue on Monday, 23rd August 2021

An 18-year-old died over the weekend in a fiery crash on westbound Highway 50 after two people tried to rescue him from the flames.

Around 7:45 a.m. Saturday, a black Jeep Grand Cherokee was stopped on the highway east of Howe Avenue with the 18-year-old driver still inside, the California Highway Patrol said.

As officers drove to the area, the CHP said a 35-year-old man behind the wheel of a Ford F-150 changed lanes only to see the Jeep ahead of him. He tried to stop the truck but slammed into the back of the Jeep, which spun around and caught fire.
