Pedestrian Deaths in Sacramento, San Antonio Raise Concerns

A 19-year-old man was killed in Sacramento's Natomas neighborhood after being struck by a vehicle driven by a suspected intoxicated driver, who was arrested and remains hospitalized. This incident marks Sacramento County's 97th traffic-related death in the year and highlights ongoing concerns regarding pedestrian safety and drunk driving. In a separate event in San Antonio, a woman suffered life-threatening injuries after being hit by a car while crossing outside of a crosswalk; the driver in that case stayed at the scene and assisted police. Both incidents are currently under investigation. Authorities are urging witnesses to come forward with information. These cases underscore broader issues of pedestrian safety, impaired driving, and hazardous road conditions.
