Driver Hospitalized After Car Strikes Antelope Road Retaining Wall

A driver suffered minor injuries on Wednesday evening after crashing into a retaining wall along Antelope Road near Saybrook Drive. Citrus Heights police and emergency medical crews responded to the roadway after receiving reports of a solo vehicle collision.

Investigators determined that the driver began losing control near the edge of the city limits, clipping a tree before crashing into a concrete block wall. Paramedics transported the driver to a local hospital for medical evaluation. No other motorists or pedestrians were involved in the accident.

The collision left severe structural cracks and displaced concrete along the retaining wall. Officers noted that driving under the influence does not appear to have caused the crash, and staff from the city's General Services Department were called out to assess the damage ahead of planned repairs.
