SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A tragic incident unfolded on July 9, 2023, around 6:35 p.m., as the Sacramento Police Department responded to reports of a vehicle collision involving pedestrians near the intersection of Jibboom Street and Richards Boulevard. According to the latest update from the police, the vehicle involved had lost control before striking the pedestrians.
Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered four victims - two adult females and two juveniles aged 6 and 9 - all with serious or critical injuries. Immediate life-saving measures were initiated by the officers and personnel from the Sacramento Fire Department. Despite their efforts, a 38-year-old female adult was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
The second adult victim and the two juvenile victims were swiftly transported to local hospitals by Sacramento Fire personnel. The driver of the vehicle was found at the scene and, during the course of the investigation, officers observed objective signs of intoxication.

Collaborating with crime scene investigators, they meticulously combed the area for evidence, witnesses, and any additional information that could shed light on the incident.
While the collision remains under investigation, initial findings indicate that speed and impairment may have been contributing factors. The Sacramento County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the deceased victim once next of kin have been notified.
