West Sacramento, CA – On the evening of Saturday, January 25, 2026, a two-vehicle crash resulted in the death of one driver and injuries to another, according to ABC10.

The West Sacramento Police Department reports that the accident took place around 6:53 PM on West Capitol Avenue near the Enterprise exit.

Authorities said a 32-year-old woman from Davis was transported to a local hospital following the collision, where she later died from her injuries. The second driver, a 29-year-old man from West Sacramento, was also taken to the hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.

Police officers secured the crash scene, coordinated with emergency medical personnel, and closed both eastbound and westbound lanes of West Capitol Avenue while the Traffic Unit investigated. Investigators are reviewing roadway conditions, vehicle positions, and witness statements to determine the factors that contributed to the collision.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area and use alternate routes while authorities continue to gather evidence and document the scene.

Personal Injury Claims

After a traffic accident, victims and their families often deal with unexpected financial burdens, such as medical bills, lost income, and, in the worst cases, burial costs. A Personal Injury Claim allows accident victims to hold the at-fault party financially responsible for their cost of care.

Comparative Negligence

California Law upholds the concept of Comparative Negligence, which allows more than one party to share blame in a personal injury accident. Injured victims may have their compensation reduced if they are found partially responsible.
