On Friday, September 29, 2017, at approximately 12:30 p.m., the Sacramento Police Department responded to the area of North 14^th Street just south of North B Street for a pedestrian that had been struck by a vehicle.

When officers arrived, they located the pedestrian down along the sidewalk with severe injuries.  The Sacramento Fire Department responded to the scene and transported the pedestrian, a 61-year-old male, to the hospital for medical attention. 

Due to the life-threatening injuries, the Department’s Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) responded to the scene to take over the investigation. 

Through investigation, detectives believe the pedestrian was on North 14^th Street near the west sidewalk when he was struck by a vehicle that was traveling north on North 14^th Street.  The vehicle briefly stopped at the pedestrian but fled the scene, towards North B Street and continued to outbound 16^th Street. 

Investigators are searching for:

·         a dark blue or green sedan, possibly a late 90’s to early 2000’s BMW

·         damage to driver’s side and windshield

The below picture was obtained from traffic operations cameras at 16th St. and Richards Blvd. (out-bound 160) and appears to be the suspect vehicle. Note the consistent damage to the left-front. 

The Sacramento Police Department is requesting the community’s assistance in identifying the driver and the vehicle that fled the scene.  If you have any information regarding this collision, please contact the Sacramento Police Department via the Hit-and-Run Tip line at (916) 808-6030, dispatch center at (916) 264-5471, or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357) or submit an anonymous tip using the free “P3 Tips” smartphone app.  Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
