The Sacramento Police Department reports that the crash occurred around 7:00 PM near the intersection of 16th Street and E Street.
Officers arrived on the scene and found one man critically injured. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries despite life-saving efforts.
Authorities say the collision involved three vehicles and prompted the temporary closure of surrounding roadways.
Investigators from the Major Collision Investigation Unit and Crime Scene Investigation team responded to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash. Officials have not yet released the identity of the deceased, pending notification of kin.
Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
