A 25-year-old Sacramento man was killed, and two passengers were injured following a high-speed, two-vehicle collision on northbound Interstate 5 near Balls Ferry Road in Anderson early Tuesday morning, April 1, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 1:20 a.m. when a white Jeep SUV traveling at high speed rear-ended a blue Mazda sedan driven by a 64-year-old man from Washington.
The impact caused the Jeep to veer off the roadway, break through a guardrail, and roll down an embankment. The Mazda came to rest in the center divide, and its driver sustained minor injuries, which were treated at the scene.
The driver of the Jeep was pronounced dead at the scene. Two male passengers from Sacramento, aged 16 and 18, were transported to Mercy Medical Center. The 16-year-old sustained minor injuries, while the 18-year-old suffered major injuries.
Authorities confirmed that alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the crash. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
