Report body

A traffic collision was reported at Main Avenue at Madison Avenue in Orangevale on Aug. 3, 2026, around 5:28 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol dispatch records. The report listed the injury status as unknown, so the extent of any injuries was not confirmed at the time of the entry.

The dispatch log did not specify how many vehicles were involved or what caused the crash. Temperatures in the area were near 104 degrees at the time, which CHP flagged as a notable condition, though no cause was attributed to the heat in the record.
