CHP Hit During Traffic Stop on I-80 in Loomis, Placer County

By Frank Penney • April 16, 2025

An afternoon traffic stop on I-80 in Loomis, Placer County, took a dangerous turn when a California Highway Patrol vehicle was struck by another car. The incident occurred while the CHP officer was parked on the south shoulder of the eastbound lanes near Horseshoe Road, preparing to transport someone from the scene. Suddenly, a Toyota traveling eastbound veered onto the shoulder, slamming into the CHP patrol vehicle. The force of the impact didn’t stop there—the Toyota continued forward, eventually crashing into a tow truck, flipping over, and landing upright on its wheels. Emergency crews responded quickly, and both the officer and the person inside the patrol vehicle were taken to the hospital with what officials described as suspected serious injuries. Fortunately, the driver of the Toyota sustained only minor injuries in the crash. Investigators believe a medical emergency may have caused the Toyota driver to lose control before the crash occurred. As a result of the accident, eastbound lanes #2 and #3 on I-80 near Horseshoe Bar Road were closed as of early afternoon to allow first responders and investigators to manage the scene safely.
