An inattentive driver may be the cause of a multi -car injury accident on the freeway in Grass Valley Saturday. CHP Officer Greg Tassone tells KNCO that the series of events began with traffic slowing for some reason on eastbound 49/20 between the East Bennett Street on-ramp and the Idaho Maryland exit.
