Citrus Heights Police responded to the corner of Auburn Boulevard and Van Maren Lane on Tuesday, June 18, around 2 p.m. in response to what witnesses described to dispatch as a “rollover collision.”

Citrus Heights Police Lt. Dave Neher informed The Sentinel that there was a “discrepancy” in the initial call to dispatch, and police officers found no evidence of a rollover collision.

According to police, the collision involved two vehicles. Both drivers sustained only minor injuries and were transported to the hospital for evaluation following the collision.

One of the vehicles ended up near a street light pole on the southeast corner, but according to police, there was no structural damage to the pole.

A tow truck was on scene following the collision to remove at least one damaged vehicle.
