Frank Penney • April 2, 2024

In Rancho Cordova, California, tragedy struck on Monday evening when a pedestrian was fatally struck by a vehicle. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, the incident occurred around 6 p.m. at the intersection of Folsom Boulevard and Mine Shaft Lane.

Initial reports indicated that the victim sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital. However, it was later confirmed that the injuries proved fatal. The identity of the victim has not been disclosed at this time.

Authorities stated that the driver involved in the collision remained at the scene and is cooperating with law enforcement. Despite the cooperation, the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident is ongoing.

Driver in Critical Condition After Driving Off Overpass in Sacramento, California

By Frank Penney • February 20, 2025

A vehicle plunged off an overpass onto Interstate 5 in Sacramento’s Natomas area on Monday afternoon, leaving the driver in critical condition. The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene around 12:52 p.m., near the offramp for West El Camino Avenue. The crash occurred while Kyman Jeung was driving northbound on I-5, heading home. He said the incident unfolded in what felt like slow motion, with the vehicle and debris falling onto the freeway just seconds ahead of him. Jeung had little time to react as he quickly maneuvered through the debris, including tree parts scattered across the road. Hours after the crash, locals noticed remnants of debris still on the overpass and in nearby tree branches. Sacramento Police confirmed the driver who fell from the overpass was the only person taken to the hospital. West El Camino Avenue was closed temporarily between Gateway Oaks Drive and Azevedo Drive while emergency crews worked at the scene. The road fully reopened around 3:15 p.m. Thankfully, no other drivers were injured, though Jeung expressed how fortunate he and others were that the vehicle didn’t land on them.
