On Thursday, CHP Assistant Commissioner Ezery Beauchamp provided more information on what the state-wide law enforcement agency is calling an ‘act of violence.”

While stopped on the right-hand shoulder of eastbound I-80 near Mace Boulevard, a wrong-way driver “intentionally” drove head-on into a CHP patrol vehicle at 3:38 p.m. on Wednesday.

Two officers were seated in the patrol vehicle with their seatbelts on during the collision and were transported to a local hospital with minor to major injuries.

The suspect driver was arrested at the scene and will be booked into the Yolo County Jail.
