20-year-old Sacramento man killed in head-on Rosemont crash, CHP says

A 20-year-old Sacramento man was killed in a head-on crash in Rosemont Thursday evening when another driver entered oncoming traffic, according to the California Highway Patrol.

In a news release, the East Sacramento-area CHP said that the man was driving west on Kiefer Boulevard just east of Tallyho Drive around 5:22 p.m.

At the same time, a 40-year-old man from Elk Grove was driving in the opposite direction when he crossed over a left-hand turn lane into oncoming traffic, hitting the other driver head-on.

The Sacramento man suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash. CHP indicated that he was not using a seat belt.

The Elk Grove man suffered minor injuries, was treated at the scene of the crash and released. It is unclear whether drugs or alcohol were a factor leading up to the crash, according to CHP investigators.
