A car accident caused one injury reported in crash near 16th St and W/U St in Sacramento on Monday night, December 1, 2025, near the intersection of 16th Street and what may be either W Street or U Street in Sacramento’s District 5. The crash was reported at approximately 8:36 p.m., prompting a rapid response from Sacramento Regional Fire and EMS units.

First responders arrived to find at least one individual injured, though the exact number of victims has not yet been confirmed. Medical crews provided on-scene evaluation and treatment before determining whether hospital transport was required.

The collision caused temporary delays in the area as fire and EMS crews worked to secure the roadway, assist those hurt, and coordinate with law enforcement. Investigators are still working to determine what led to the crash and whether more vehicles were involved.

Safety Reminder: Nighttime Driving Requires Extra Caution

Nighttime driving significantly increases the risk of collisions due to reduced visibility, glare from headlights, and difficulty judging distance. Drivers can reduce the risk of nighttime crashes by slowing down, keeping headlights clean and properly aligned, avoiding distractions, and scanning the road ahead for pedestrians, cyclists, or unlit vehicles. Staying alert and driving defensively at night can prevent serious accidents like this one.
