Sacramento, CA – On the morning of Monday, September 14, 2026, a hit-and-run left one driver injured, according to FOX40.
The Sacramento Police Department reports that the accident took place just after 11:30 AM near 65th Expressway and Faro Drive, a roadway in southeastern Sacramento.
Authorities said officers located two vehicles at the scene but only one driver, who sustained minor injuries. The other driver fled on foot before officers arrived.
Southbound 65th Expressway was shut down while officers investigated, reopening later that afternoon.
Sacramento Hit-and-Run Accidents and Personal Injury Claims
California law requires drivers involved in any collision to stop, render aid, and remain at the scene to cooperate with law enforcement. A driver who flees the scene may face criminal prosecution in addition to civil liability, and may be considered to have committed negligence per se, increasing their share of liability in the collision.
Because the fleeing driver left the vehicle behind at the scene, registration records tied to that vehicle could provide investigators with a relatively direct path to identifying the responsible party, even without an immediate arrest. The driver who was injured may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, which can provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
