Pedestrian Killed in Hit-and-Run on Bannon Street in Sacramento

A Man Was Found With Fatal Injuries

Sacramento police officers were called at about 4:45 a.m. on Saturday, October 24, 2026, to a report of a vehicle hitting a pedestrian in the 400 block of Bannon Street, south of Richards Boulevard. Officers found an adult man with life-threatening injuries. Despite lifesaving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Driver Was Not Found

Police said the driver involved was not at the scene when officers arrived and had not been found. The department said it had no suspect information to release.

Detectives from the Sacramento Police Department's Major Collision Investigation Unit and crime scene investigators took over the case. The Sacramento County Coroner will release the man's name after his family is notified.

Police asked anyone with information about the crash to contact the Sacramento Police Department.

What Families Should Know

When a driver leaves the scene, the family may never get that driver's insurance information. In California, uninsured motorist coverage on the family's own auto policy can sometimes apply to a hit-and-run death, but those policies often have strict notice rules. Nearby business cameras and doorbell video are often recorded over within days, so asking for footage early can matter.

This article does not make any finding about cause or fault. The investigation remains open.

Our thoughts are with the man's family and loved ones.
