Vehicle Crashes Off Garden Highway, Woman Hospitalized

Vehicle crashes off Garden Highway causing a woman to be hospitalized. A section of Garden Highway in Sacramento was closed on Thursday evening, September 4, 2025, after a car left the roadway and struck a fence downhill, according to the Sacramento Police Department (SPD). Officers responded around 8:30 p.m. near Sandcastle Way, where they discovered a woman outside of the vehicle near a damaged fence.

Emergency Response and Road Closure

The woman was transported to a local hospital for evaluation, though her current condition has not yet been released. As of 10 p.m., Garden Highway remained closed between Truxel Road and Northgate Boulevard while investigators worked to determine what caused the crash. The closure created traffic disruptions in the area as law enforcement secured the scene.
Staying Safe on Sacramento’s Roadways

Garden Highway is known for its curves and limited visibility in some stretches, making driver attentiveness especially important. Maintaining safe speeds, wearing seat belts, and avoiding distractions can greatly reduce the risk of severe accidents. Drivers should also take extra care at night, when visibility is reduced.
