Sacramento, CA – In the early hours of Tuesday, December 2, 2025, a male pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle at a major intersection, according to KCRA.

The Sacramento Police Department reports that the accident took place around 4:30 AM at the intersection of Broadway and Stockton Boulevard.

Authorities said officers arrived to find the man on the roadway with life-threatening injuries. Despite emergency personnel providing immediate medical aid, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police noted that preliminary information suggests a vehicle was involved in the fatal incident, though details about how many people were involved or the circumstances leading up to the collision have not been released.

The department indicated the investigation is ongoing, and it has not yet been determined whether the incident will be classified as a homicide. The intersection has since reopened to traffic.

Pedestrian Fatalities and Wrongful Death Claims

Drivers have a Duty of Care towards pedestrians, which includes being vigilant for those travelling by foot and, if a collision occurs, staying with the victim, alerting emergency responders, and cooperating with authorities investigating the crash.

For those who lose a loved one in a pedestrian accident, filing a Wrongful Death claim with the assistance of an experienced attorney can provide compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, and other related damages. 

Should the at-fault driver evade authorities, compensation might still be available through a family member’s uninsured driver coverage. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help determine the best options in such cases.
