SACRAMENTO – A man was struck and killed by a vehicle early Tuesday morning along a major North Sacramento road.
Sacramento police say officers responded to the scene near the intersection of Northgate Boulevard and the Arden Garden Connector just after midnight.
There, officers found that a man had apparently been hit by a vehicle. He was rushed to the hospital by medics, but police say he later died.
The vehicle that struck the man had left when officers first arrived, but police say it returned to the scene as the investigation continued into the night.
