South Sacramento, CA (June 28, 2025) – A deadly hit-and-run collision on State Route 99 in South Sacramento left one person dead early Friday morning after they were struck and left on the side of the highway.
According to reports, the incident was first reported around 5:19 a.m. on June 27 when California Highway Patrol (CHP) dispatch received calls about what appeared to be a body lying partially in the slow lane on southbound SR-99, just north of Fruitridge Road. CHP officers arrived on scene to find the victim unresponsive. Despite emergency response efforts, the individual was pronounced dead at the scene.
Logs show evidence that two silver-colored sedans may have been involved and were stopped on the right shoulder near the crash site. Officials have classified this as a felony hit-and-run with injuries resulting in death. Investigators closed multiple lanes of southbound SR-99 for several hours as they gathered evidence and cleared the scene. A biohazard cleanup crew was also called due to the severity of the impact.
No further details have been released about the victim’s identity pending notification of family, and CHP is asking anyone with information about the suspect vehicles or what happened to come forward.
