A woman died in a two-vehicle crash early Friday morning, November 6, 2026, on northbound Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at 22nd Avenue in South Sacramento. The California Highway Patrol says the crash was reported shortly after 6:15 a.m. Two SUVs, one white and one gray, were involved. The cause is still under investigation, and no one should assume who is at fault until authorities finish their work.
FOX40 Sacramento reported that CHP and the Sacramento Police Department responded to the crash and that a white SUV was involved. CBS Sacramento reported that, according to CHP, the white SUV was ahead of the gray SUV and the driver allegedly tried to turn left, and the gray SUV tried to pass and struck it. Preliminary information from CHP indicates the woman driving the white SUV was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown inside the vehicle. The gray SUV’s driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating, and it is not yet known whether drugs or alcohol played a role. Her name had not been released.
