Six Injured in Midtown Sacramento Hit-and-Run Crash at 20th and P Streets

Six people were injured early Sunday morning, February 22, 2026, following Sacramento hit-and-run crash at 20th and P Streets in the Midtown area. The crash occurred at approximately 1:36 a.m. near the intersection and involved a van and a sedan, according to the Sacramento Fire Department.

Officials reported that one occupant was ejected from a vehicle, and two individuals were initially listed in critical condition, while four others were reported stable. The Sacramento Police Department confirmed that the driver of the sedan fled the scene, prompting a hit-and-run investigation.

Emergency responders provided medical care at the scene and transported the injured for further treatment. Authorities noted that, despite the seriousness of the crash, no life-threatening injuries were ultimately reported. The investigation into the collision remains ongoing.

Safety Tips to Prevent Serious and Hit-and-Run Collisions

Early morning driving hours can present increased risks due to reduced visibility, fatigue, and impaired driving. Drivers can help prevent serious crashes by:

• Avoiding driving while fatigued, impaired, or distracted
• Obeying traffic signals and speed limits, especially in urban areas
• Wearing seat belts at all times to reduce the risk of ejection
• Staying alert at intersections, where many serious collisions occur
• Remaining at the scene and calling 911 if involved in a crash

Being properly restrained and driving responsibly can significantly reduce the severity of injuries and improve outcomes in the event of a collision.

Why Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney Is Important After a Hit-and-Run

Hit-and-run accidents can create uncertainty and stress for injured victims, especially when the at-fault driver is unknown. An experienced personal injury attorney can help investigate the crash, work with law enforcement to identify the responsible party, and explore other sources of compensation, such as uninsured motorist coverage. Legal representation can also assist with gathering evidence, handling insurance communications, and pursuing recovery for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering, allowing victims to focus on healing.
