Fatal Pedestrian Accident at Sacramento and Todhunter Avenues
WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (April 4, 2019) – An elderly man was killed after being struck by a car late Thursday afternoon in West Sacramento.
The fatal incident happened around 5:52 p.m. at the intersection of Sacramento Avenue, also known as Highway 84, and Todhunter Avenue.
According to authorities, a male pedestrian was crossing the intersection when he was struck by an unknown vehicle.
Paramedics immediately responded and rushed the injured man to a hospital, where the victim was pronounced dead. He was later identified as an 80-year-old Salvador Mejia.
Meanwhile, the driver stopped and was questioned by authorities about what happened. The driver voluntarily gave a blood sample at the scene so that authorities could rule out alcohol or drugs as factors.
