Sacramento County, CA – On the evening of Wednesday, March 25, 2026, a pedestrian collision resulted in the death of a man in his 40s, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The California Highway Patrol reports that the accident took place just before 10:00 PM on Bradshaw Road near Countryroads Drive, along the boundary between unincorporated Rosemont and the city of Rancho Cordova.
Authorities said responding officers and Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District crews arrived to find the man lying in the roadway after being struck by a vehicle. Bystanders had attempted to resuscitate the man before emergency crews arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene by firefighters.
