Sacramento, CA (August 5, 2025) — A pedestrian was critically injured Tuesday morning after being struck by a vehicle in Sacramento, according to the Sacramento Police Department.
Incident Details: The collision occurred around 6:00 a.m. on Sheldon Road near West Stockton Boulevard. Police say the pedestrian was transported to a hospital in critical condition. The driver involved remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. Traffic in the area was impacted for several hours as officers processed the scene.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: Authorities will work to determine whether the pedestrian was in a crosswalk, the vehicle’s speed, and whether driver attentiveness or road conditions contributed to the crash. Evidence such as witness statements, roadway measurements, and any available surveillance or dashcam footage will be essential in determining fault.
Pending the outcome of the investigation, the injured pedestrian may have grounds to pursue a personal injury claim to help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term care needs.
My thoughts are with the injured pedestrian, and I hope for a full and swift recovery.
