The incident occurred around 5 a.m. on westbound State Route 94 at the on-ramp to northbound Interstate 5, near a homeless encampment.
One lane was blocked for part of the morning, slowing traffic as emergency responders investigate the accident.
Authorities have not yet determined whether alcohol or drug were a factor in the crash.
