Sacramento Most Dangerous Intersections — Roseville, CA — Frank Penney Injury Lawyers

Read the blog from Frank Penney Injury Lawyers in Roseville, CA below. 


Sacramento car accidents are all too frequent, with a combined injury and death rate of almost 2,000 per year within city limits. Many of these happen on the freeways, but city-surface streets also present opportunities for collision. Intersections can be the most perilous, with cars and trucks making turns, speeding up or slowing down, and pedestrians crossing (sometimes against the light). Unfortunately, many drivers see a yellow light as a signal to speed up, rather than slow down and prepare to stop.

Sacramento Car Accident Map

Based on Sacramento City Police Department reports from 2012, these are the city’s most dangerous intersections:

  • Folsom Boulevard and Howe Avenue: 11 crashes reported
  • Franklin Boulevard and Mack Road: 9 crashes reported
  • North 12th Street and B Street: 9 reported
  • Mack Road and Valley High Drive: 8 crashes reported
  • Elder Creek Road and Stockton Boulevard: 8 crashes reported
  • Cosumnes River Blvd. and Bruceville Rd.: 7 reported crashes
  • Meadowview Road and 24th Street: 7 crashes reported
  • Stockton Boulevard and Fruitridge Road: 7 crashes reported

Who is At Fault for an Intersection Accident?

A personal injury attorney would investigate several factors to establish liability in an intersection accident case. The other driver may be at fault if he or she failed to:

  • obey traffic signals
  • obey signs
  • use caution in poor weather
  • drive at the posted speed limit
  • use appropriate signals
  • keep appropriate distance from the car ahead


Other factors may include:


An accident may also be caused by conditions that could have been avoided with proper maintenance. In these cases, the state may be liable if it’s established that the cause was due to:

  • Poor design of the roads and intersection
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Inadequate signage
  • Placement of poles and trees that cause obstruction
  • Broken traffic lights
  • Dangerous road conditions, such as potholes

A tragic incident unfolded on Interstate 10 in Cathedral City, resulting in the death of a 41-year-old motorist, as confirmed by authorities on Friday. Jason Jester from Indio suffered fatal injuries just before 2 a.m. on Thursday while traveling eastbound on I-10, approximately a mile east of Palm Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Officer David Torres provided details, stating that Jester was driving his Ford F-150 pickup in the No. 2 lane at an unspecified speed when he suddenly veered to the right, colliding with a 2008 Buick Enclave traveling in the No. 3 lane. "The Ford then veered further to the right, onto the right shoulder, where it struck a sign and overturned," Torres explained. "The driver of the Ford was ejected from the vehicle." Emergency responders from the fire department arrived within 15 minutes but tragically pronounced Jester dead at the scene. Torres noted that the driver of the Buick, a 50-year-old woman from Arizona, escaped the collision unharmed. The CHP officer stated that it is still unknown whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash, with an autopsy pending as of Friday. Individuals with any information regarding the incident were urged to contact the CHP Indio office at 760-772-5300.
