In Rancho Cordova, a devastating single-vehicle rollover accident claimed the life of a man in the early hours of Friday morning and resulted in injuries for two others, local authorities report.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office received a call shortly before 4:30 a.m. about a car that had flipped and crashed into a fence on Grant Line Road, situated between Douglas and White Rock roads.

Upon the emergency services’ arrival at the scene, one male individual was found deceased. Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, Sgt. Amar Gandhi, confirmed that the victim was an occupant of the ill-fated vehicle. Two survivors of the crash—a man and a woman—were attended to by medical staff and subsequently transported to the hospital, both suffering from injuries classified as minor.

In response to the incident, law enforcement officers closed off the stretch of Grant Line Road flanked by Douglas and White Rock roads to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision. The road remained inaccessible to traffic for several hours as authorities meticulously processed the accident scene, causing detours and delays in the vicinity.

The identity of the deceased has not been released pending notification of next of kin as the investigation continues. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is urging any witnesses or individuals with information about the crash to come forward to aid in piecing together the sequence of events that led to this tragic occurrence.
