Sacramento, CA (May 13, 2025) – A bicyclist sustained injuries after being struck by a vehicle early Monday morning near the intersection of Calvine Rd and Elk Grove Florin Rd in the South Sacramento area. The crash occurred around 2:48 a.m. and led to an emergency response from both the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Elk Grove Police Department.
Initial reports indicated that the collision involved a cyclist and an unidentified vehicle. Emergency medical services were dispatched to the scene shortly after, and responders confirmed the individual had been struck. The Sacramento Fire Department was also involved in assessing the situation, working with authorities to identify where the cyclist was found lying in the roadway.
Details about the vehicle involved remain unclear, as officers noted uncertainty regarding whether the incident was a hit-and-run (designated as a 20001) or a delayed report. Investigators later verified that the victim had in fact been struck by a vehicle, though the driver and vehicle status were not immediately available.
No updates were provided regarding the extent of the injuries, though the response classification indicated medical transport was needed. Traffic at the intersection was partially impacted during the early-morning hours as authorities began their investigation and ensured roadway safety.
Our thoughts are with the injured bicyclist, and we hope for a full and speedy recovery.
Bicycle Collisions in California
Bicycle accidents, particularly those occurring in low-visibility, early morning hours—as was the case at 2:48 a.m. Monday—are an ongoing concern across California. Intersections like Calvine Rd and Elk Grove Florin Rd see a mix of commuter traffic and light industrial activity, creating potential danger zones for vulnerable road users.
Cyclists traveling at night or during early morning hours face increased risk due to limited street lighting, low driver visibility, and fewer witnesses. In such cases, hit-and-run incidents are not uncommon, leaving injured individuals with few immediate resources for identifying the vehicle involved or obtaining accountability.
The Sacramento region has experienced a growing number of bike-related crashes in recent years, reinforcing the need for stronger crosswalk safety features, driver awareness campaigns, and accessible lighting along popular cycling routes.
If you’ve been involved in a bike collision or know someone who has, it’s essential to secure medical help promptly and gather as much information from the scene as possible—photos, witness statements, and official reports are vital for recovery and potential legal recourse.
