Sacramento, CA (May 27, 2025) – A bicyclist was injured on Tuesday morning following a collision with a vehicle at the intersection of Land Park Drive and Broadway. The crash occurred at approximately 7:59 a.m., during peak morning travel hours in the Land Park area, just south of downtown Sacramento.
Passersby alerted authorities after witnessing the cyclist being struck while crossing the intersection. The rider sustained a range of injuries and was attended to by emergency medical teams who arrived within minutes. After receiving on-site care, the bicyclist was transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. No update has yet been given on the extent of their injuries.
Police at the scene spoke with the vehicle’s driver, who remained present and cooperated with the investigation. Preliminary reports suggest the crash may have involved a right-of-way violation, though officials are still reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to determine fault.
The intersection, which borders William Land Park and connects residential neighborhoods to commercial centers, was temporarily blocked while responders cleared the area and documented the incident.
We extend our sincere hopes for the bicyclist’s full and swift recovery.
Bicycle Accidents in Sacramento
Crashes involving bicycles continue to be a serious concern in Sacramento, particularly in areas like Land Park, where traffic volume and recreational activity intersect. Broadway and Land Park Drive are key routes for both cyclists and drivers, making intersections between them a critical point of safety focus.
Despite growing efforts to promote bicycle-friendly infrastructure, including dedicated bike lanes and signage, collisions still occur frequently due to driver inattention, limited visibility, or misunderstanding of traffic rules. Cyclists are particularly vulnerable, as even low-speed impacts can cause serious injuries, especially in high-traffic or multi-lane intersections.
The City of Sacramento has prioritized bike safety under its Vision Zero campaign, focusing on infrastructure improvements and public education. However, incidents like this underscore the continued need for shared road responsibility and cautious driving, especially near parks, schools, and commuter corridors where cyclists are prevalent.
Injured cyclists often face an uphill battle after a crash, dealing not only with physical recovery but also with insurance complications, bike repair costs, and time away from work or school. Knowing where to find support, from medical care to legal advice, can help victims regain control in the aftermath of a traumatic event.
