Pedestrian Injured in Suspected DUI Crash on Florin Road in South Sacramento

A pedestrian injured in suspected DUI crash on Florin Road was struck Tuesday night, July 29, 2025, by a suspected DUI driver on Florin Road in South Sacramento, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The incident occurred around 8:44 p.m. and involved a dark gray Toyota sedan.

Preliminary reports indicated that the vehicle struck the pedestrian under circumstances still under investigation. Witnesses at the scene told dispatchers that the driver appeared to be under the influence at the time of the crash.

Emergency medical services and fire personnel responded quickly. The injured pedestrian was transported to Methodist Hospital for further evaluation. While the injuries were initially described as minor, additional medical assessments were planned. The pedestrian’s spouse was notified at the scene.

CHP also noted that a second vehicle may have been involved, though its specific role remains unclear. Authorities collected information from all parties, and further action may be taken pending toxicology results and an official review of the incident.

Pedestrian Safety and Awareness Tips

Pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility between drivers and those on foot. For pedestrians, using crosswalks, obeying signals, and wearing visible clothing at night can greatly reduce risks. For drivers, especially in low-light or high-traffic areas, staying alert, avoiding distractions, and never driving under the influence are essential to preventing tragedies. Vigilance and accountability on both sides can help keep Sacramento’s streets safer for everyone.
