North Sacramento, CA (September 18, 2025) – A man was left in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle that fled the scene near Marysville Boulevard and Los Robles Boulevard.
Accident Details: Police said the collision happened shortly before 8:00 p.m. in a busy area of North Sacramento. When officers arrived, they found a critically injured man on the roadway who was taken to a nearby hospital. The driver who hit him left before first responders arrived, and investigators are now trying to identify the vehicle and person involved.
Marysville Boulevard from Rosalind Street to Los Robles Boulevard were closed while evidence was collected and the area was made safe for traffic again. Authorities have asked anyone with information about the incident to contact the Sacramento Police Department.
Investigation: Hit-and-run cases like this demand a thorough and time-sensitive investigation. Police will likely examine physical evidence left behind at the scene, such as broken vehicle parts, paint transfers, or tire marks, which can provide clues about the make and model of the car. Traffic cameras, nearby business surveillance systems, and residential doorbell cameras may also be reviewed to track the vehicle’s movements before and after the crash.
Witness statements are especially valuable in reconstructing what happened. Even small details—like the color of the vehicle, its direction of travel, or a partial license plate—can help investigators locate the vehicle. Because the collision occurred in the evening hours, lighting conditions and visibility will also be factored into the analysis.
Legal Considerations: Pedestrian and cyclist safety has become a growing concern in many urban areas, and incidents like this highlight the importance of driver vigilance. Motorists are required to remain at the scene of a crash and render aid if someone is injured.
Depending on the outcome of the investigation and whether the driver is found, the injured person may be able to bring a personal injury claim against the responsible party. Such a claim can seek compensation for the damages suffered, including medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation costs, lost wages during recovery, future loss of earning capacity due to long-term injuries, and the pain and emotional distress caused by the crash. Property damage and other out-of-pocket expenses may also be recoverable.
My thoughts are with the man who was injured in this tragic hit-and-run, and I hope for his swift recovery as the investigation moves forward.
