[08-25-2022] Sacramento County, CA – Unidentified Man Hospitalized After Two-Vehicle Collision in Sacramento

A man is in the hospital after a two-vehicle collision involving an ambulance in Sacramento’s Oak Park neighborhood early Thursday morning, August 25, 2022.

The crash happened just before 2:00 a.m. on 14th Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

There were at least two cars involved in the collision, the ambulance and a sedan, but it is unclear what caused the accident in the first place.

The force of the collision caused the ambulance to flip onto its side, and the front end of the sedan sustained significant damage.

According to the police, two paramedics were inside the ambulance, and neither one was injured in the collision.

The investigators are still trying to determine what caused the collision.

Two-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. Every minute and a half, at least one car accident occurs in the United States. Every day, hundreds of thousands of cars crash into each other.

Car accidents are the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. Every year, close to 2 million people are hurt in car accidents. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation says that 36,560 people died in car accidents in 2017.

It’s no secret that the state’s highways are some of the most traveled in the country. Since there are so many cars on the road, traffic jams and gridlock are inevitable, as are car accidents that kill or seriously hurt people.

The main reason people die in California is because of car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that more than 3,300 people were killed in car crashes in California in 2017.

KCRA says that a stretch of I-5 in Sacramento is one of California’s five most dangerous highways (between Del Paseo Road and Railyards Boulevard). Between 2017 and 2019, there were about 13 fatal accidents and 16 deaths on this road.
