Sacramento, CA – On the late morning of Saturday, May 10, 2025, a two-vehicle collision resulted in fatal injuries to one person, according to KCRA.
The Sacramento Police Department reports that the accident took place around 11:30 AM near Rio Linda Boulevard and North Avenue.
Police confirmed that one of the drivers involved in the crash was pronounced dead at the scene. The other driver remained on site and cooperated with investigators.
No passengers were reported in either vehicle. Authorities stated that drugs or alcohol are not suspected to be contributing factors in the incident.
The crash prompted the closure of Rio Linda Boulevard between North Avenue and Phillipi Way while major collision investigators processed the scene.
The identity of the deceased will be released by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office after next of kin have been notified. The investigation remains ongoing.
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.
