A busy Carmichael intersection is back open Wednesday after a crash between a California Highway Patrol SUV and another vehicle.

A station wagon and the CHP vehicle drove through the intersection of Manzanita Avenue and Winding Way at the same time about 4:30 a.m., officers said.

Investigators don’t know who was at fault but believe that one of the two vehicles should have stopped for a red light, the CHP said.

There was one officer in the CHP vehicle, but it is unclear how many people were in the second car. The CHP said that the injuries of those involved in the crash were non-life-threatening.

Most of the intersection was closed for several hours, creating a traffic mess for drivers during the morning commute.
