[02-12-2022] Sacramento County, CA – Two People Injured After Car Crashed into Home in North Highlands

Authorities said two people were taken to the hospital after a vehicle collided with and caught fire in a home in North Highlands on Saturday, February 12, 2022.

According to Sacramento Metro Fire, the accident happened around 3:00 a.m. near Elkhorn Boulevard.

According to authorities, two people were removed from the vehicle and taken to the hospital. It’s not clear how they’re faring.

There was no word on what caused the crash or how serious the injuries were to the two people who were injured.

The officials further reported one person was home at the time of the crash but was not in the room where the fire started. She managed to get out of the house. However, according to Metro Fire, a bird died as a result of the fire.

Firefighters say they struggled to put out the fire because there were so many obstacles, such as downed power lines and gates.

According to authorities, the fire was contained in a single room.

Reckless Driving Statistics

It’s dangerous for other people’s lives to be put at risk by drivers who drive aggressively or recklessly. Innocent people should not be put in harm’s way as a result of someone else’s reckless driving.

Damage and injury caused by drivers who operate their vehicles in this manner should be held against them.

Unfortunately, the number of collisions caused by careless motorists has risen steadily across the nation.

An average of 90 people per day are killed in the approximately 6 million accidents that occur each year in the United States. Three million people are hurt in car accidents each year, and 2 million of those suffer long-term damage.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “an individual commits a combination of moving traffic violations to endanger others or property” is reckless driving.

Reckless drivers are responsible for more than a third of the 13,000 people who die in car accidents each year.

Each of these blunders can be traced back to a single act of carelessness. It’s common for drivers to engage in reckless driving behaviors such as speeding, tailgating, or racing each other. Driving under the influence of alcohol and using a cell phone while driving are both examples of careless behavior that all motorists should avoid at all costs.
