SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A four-year-old boy was killed in a rollover crash that may have been caused during a road rage incident, authorities said.

The California Highway Patrol said a black pickup-style vehicle was closely following a blue Honda Accord southbound Interstate 5 just south of the Interstate 80 interchange, making unsafe lane changes and tailgating, when the sedan attempted to swerve onto the Garden Highway off ramp to escape.

The vehicle, containing an adult couple from Sacramento and their young son, couldn’t slow down enough to make the turn and continued down an embankment, overturning and crashing through a chain link fence.

The boy was ejected from the vehicle and later died from his injuries. The other two victims were injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment.

The other vehicle, described by witnesses as a Chevy pickup similar in appearance to an Avalanche with California license plates, did not stop at the scene. Anyone with information on the crash or the participants is asked to contact the CHP at (916) 338-6710.
