Four people were in critical condition, among as many as 14 injured, in a multiple-vehicle crash on Highway 4 early Saturday evening, police and fire officials said.

The accident occurred shortly after 6:15 p.m. in the westbound direction of the freeway between A Street and the Lone Tree Way onramp.
California Highway Patrol officers were responding to a report of a bumper in the roadway just east of A Street when the call came in about a collision in the same area.
