Early Monday morning in Sacramento, a tragic incident occurred resulting in one fatality, as reported by the Sacramento Police Department. The event unfolded around 12:45 a.m., when law enforcement was alerted to a collision at the intersection of Franklin Boulevard and Sunmeadow Drive, involving two vehicles: a sedan and an SUV.
The collision had devastating consequences for the sedan's driver, who suffered severe injuries and was declared deceased at the crash site by emergency personnel. Meanwhile, the driver of the SUV was rushed to a nearby hospital with injuries that were determined not to be life-threatening. Upon further examination, hospital staff observed that the SUV driver exhibited clear signs of being under the influence of alcohol, a detail confirmed by the police.
