This section of the 65th Street Expressway is a heavily traveled corridor that links residential areas with major arterial routes, making it a frequent site of overnight and commuter traffic.

Overnight Collisions in Sacramento
Crashes occurring during late-night or early-morning hours, such as the one reported at 65th Street Expy and Fruitridge Rd, often present additional dangers compared to daytime incidents. Reduced visibility, decreased driver alertness, and the potential for impaired driving all contribute to heightened crash risks during these hours.
Sacramento’s urban infrastructure sees constant activity, even at night, with essential workers, delivery services, and late-shift commuters on the road. Unfortunately, this also means that emergency responders must remain vigilant during all hours to address accidents that can arise from a wide range of circumstances.
Drivers are encouraged to reduce speed, limit distractions, and avoid driving while fatigued or impaired, especially during off-peak hours when crash response times and visibility may be compromised.
