In a tragic incident unfolding in the Arden Arcade area of Sacramento County, a driver lost his life and his passenger was injured when their sports car struck a tree early Sunday morning, authorities reported.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight along the 600 block of Fulton Avenue at the cross-section with Munroe Street, close to Loehmann’s Plaza, detailed Officer Justin Fetterly of the California Highway Patrol’s North Sacramento office.
The ill-fated Porsche sedan was traveling southbound at a significant speed and failed to properly navigate the Y intersection, leading to the devastating impact with a tree located on the median strip.
Efforts by the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District responders were not enough to save the driver, who was declared dead at the scene. The passenger, meanwhile, sustained minor injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office is tasked with releasing the deceased’s identity post notification of next of kin. Meanwhile, CHP continues to investigate the factors contributing to this fatal accident.
