Sacramento, CA – In the early afternoon of Friday, September 12, 2025, a single-vehicle crash on South Zediker Avenue resulted in one fatality, according to CHP Fatal.
The California Highway Patrol reports that the vehicle overturned around 1:39 PM, coming to rest in the roadway. Emergency responders arrived quickly and found the driver trapped inside the overturned vehicle. Medical personnel confirmed that the driver had died at the scene.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office responded to the location shortly after the crash to begin identifying the deceased. CHP officials have not released the name of the victim pending notification of next of kin.
Authorities said they continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. Officers are reviewing the vehicle’s condition, roadway factors, and any available witness accounts to determine how the vehicle overturned.
Traffic in the area was disrupted while emergency crews, investigators, and coroner personnel worked to remove the wrecked vehicle and clear the scene. CHP coordinated with local agencies to ensure that the roadway reopened safely.
Officials urged anyone who witnessed the crash or has relevant information to contact CHP. The cause of the crash has not been determined, and investigators continue to gather evidence to understand the events that led to this fatal collision.
Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages.
