Tragic DUI Crash Claims Three Lives in Sacramento Near Del Paso Park Neighborhood

Tragic DUI crash claims three lives in Sacramento near Del Paso Park neighborhood early Saturday morning, August 2, 2025. Three individuals died and another seriously injured in the Del Paso Park neighborhood of Sacramento. The collision occurred around 12:45 a.m. near Roseville Road and Connie Drive, according to the Sacramento Police Department.

When officers arrived, they found one vehicle engulfed in flames with two individuals trapped inside. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. A third victim, believed to have been ejected from the vehicle, was discovered further down the road and was also pronounced dead. The driver of the second vehicle, a truck, was transported to the hospital in critical but stable condition.

Preliminary findings indicate that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. The truck driver is suspected of driving under the influence. The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office will release the identities of the deceased after notifying their families.

DUI Awareness and Road Safety: A Shared Responsibility

Crashes involving impaired drivers are among the most preventable tragedies on our roads. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs severely impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination, making fatal accidents far more likely. Drivers must take personal responsibility and never get behind the wheel if they’ve been drinking. For others on the road, staying alert, driving defensively, and avoiding late-night travel in high-risk areas can offer additional protection. Ultimately, saving lives starts with individual choices and a shared commitment to safety.
