Motorcycle crash on Northgate Boulevard in South Natomas Sacramento

A motorcyclist is in critical condition after a crash Monday morning at Northgate Boulevard and Bridgeford Drive in South Natomas. This is the latest breaking South Natomas News covered live by Lance The PI, Sacramento’s number one boots-on-the-ground news streamer.

Sacramento Police Department officers responded to the scene just after 10:30 a.m. after a motorcycle and a vehicle collided at the intersection. The motorcyclist was transported to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and cooperated with authorities. DUI does not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Sacramento Police Department accident investigators were called out to conduct a full investigation. Investigators brought their 3D mapping camera to the scene to document the crash site and reconstruct the sequence of events — a tool used in serious injury and fatality collisions to capture precise measurements of the road and vehicle positions.
