On Saturday, January 9, 2016, at 12:57 a.m., the Sacramento Police Department responded to the area of Mack Road and Archean Way regarding a vehicle collision with injuries.

When officers arrived on scene, they located an unresponsive male adult.  He was found lying in the west-bound, number one lane of Mack Road west of Archean Way.  The Sacramento Fire Department responded to the scene and pronounced the man deceased.
