A Vallejo pedestrian who was hit by a car on Sacramento Street earlier this month has died after spending nearly two weeks in the hospital, according to police.
Officers responded around 6:45 PM on Feb. 5 and found an adult man with major injuries in the northbound lanes of Sacramento Street near Buckles Street. They provided medical aid until emergency crews arrived, and the man was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries.
The Vallejo Police Department said the driver stayed at the scene, cooperated with officers, and is not suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances. The man’s name is being withheld until the Solano County Sheriff's Coroner's Office can notify his family.
Investigation Underway
Police say the Vallejo Police Department Traffic Division has taken over the case and is processing the crash scene and any available evidence. As reported by SFGATE via Bay City News Service, the collision was reported just before 6:45 PM on Feb. 5, and the man died on Wednesday.
Detectives are now working to piece together what happened on Sacramento Street that evening, using physical evidence, witness statements, and any recordings residents can provide.
Another Deadly Run On Vallejo Streets
The department said this is the fifth traffic-related fatality it has investigated so far this year, a grim addition to what is already a deadly streak of collisions in the city. For background on recent crashes, see Hoodline's earlier coverage of a separate late-night wreck near Georgia Street.
How To Help Investigators
Anyone with information about the Feb. 5 collision is asked to contact Sgt. Lenard Alamon of the Vallejo Police Department Traffic Division at (707) 648-4329 or [email protected], according to the department.
Investigators are especially interested in any video or photos from the area around Sacramento and Buckles streets around the time of the crash. Residents who have recordings are urged to preserve them and reach out to detectives with potential leads.
