[09-21-2020] Sacramento, CA - One Pedestrian Killed in a Hit-and-Run Accident at Roseville RoadOne unidentified pedestrian was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver at an intersection in Sacramento on early Monday morning, September 21.

Local authorities are currently investigating the cause of the crash and are in pursuit of the hit-and-run driver.

Unfortunately, around one in five pedestrian accidents are caused by hit-and-run drivers. Sixty percent of people killed in hit-and-run accidents are pedestrians. Common reasons why hit-and-run drivers flee the scene are intoxication, driving without a license, and fear of getting arrested if they remained. Pedestrians currently make up a large percentage of traffic fatalities in the past 33 years. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. have increased by 27 percent from 2007-2016 while other traffic-related deaths decreased by 14 percent.
