Fatal crash on Elk Grove Boulevard likely caused by speed and alcohol, authorities report

Authorities in Elk Grove are of the belief that excessive speed and alcohol played a role in a tragic incident where a 23-year-old driver lost their life in a single-vehicle crash over the weekend. The Elk Grove Police Department was called to the scene on Elk Grove Boulevard between McKenna Drive and Backer Rank Road at approximately 5:30 on Saturday morning, where they discovered a vehicle that had collided with a tree and the driver, a young man of 23, had passed away. Although the driver's identity has not been revealed, it is worth noting that the same vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run with another vehicle at the intersection of Elk Grove Boulevard and Fire Poppy Road just moments before the fatal crash. The incident is currently being investigated, and anyone who may have relevant information is encouraged to reach out to the Elk Grove Police Department.
