What Happened?

A man was walking along the 7700 block of Lemon Hill Avenue at about 7:00 pm. The man was crossing Lemon Hill Avenue in the vicinity of Wilkinson Street when an unknown vehicle crashed into him. The motorist fled from the scene.

Was the Pedestrian Okay?

Unfortunately, the man suffered fatal injuries. Officers indicated that the victim was reported to be in his 20’s. The identity of the man has not yet been released by authorities.

Our condolences are with the loved ones of the young man that passed away in this tragic hit-and-run pedestrian accident.

Unfortunately, the hit-and-run driver that crashed into the pedestrian has not yet been found. Sergeant Bryce Heinlein, a spokesman for the Sacramento Police Department, indicated that authorities did not have a description of the vehicle involved.
