Man dies following crash at UC Davis off-ramp after medical emergency, CHP says
The off-ramp to the UC Davis campus from Interstate 80 is closed early Tuesday afternoon as officers investigate a crash where one person died.
California Highway Patrol says they responded to the scene a little before 1 p.m. after getting reports of a crash and a person apparently slumped over the wheel.
First responders found that a driver was approaching the UC Davis off-ramp from westbound I-80 when they had some sort of medical emergency. The vehicle ended up drifting off the road and crashing into off-ramp guardrail.
Officers say the driver, a 56-year-old man, died from the medical condition.
No one else was in his vehicle at the time.
Drivers trying to get to the UC Davis campus should exit at Richards Boulevard prior to the crash scene, or take Highway 113 and exit at Hutchinson Drive.
This is a developing story.
