On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at approximately 6:10 PM, North Sacramento CHP Area units were dispatched to a call of a traffic collision that occurred on private property near 24th Street in Rio Linda.

A Dodge Sprinter van, driven by a 43-year-old male from Rio Linda, had been backing down the driveway of a residence. Unbeknownst to her father, the 3-year-old daughter of the driver was near the left-rear of the vehicle. While backing up, the left-rear of the van collided
with the 3-year-old. Emergency medical personnel were called; however, the 3-year-old was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Drugs and/or alcohol were not a factor in this collision and criminal charges are not anticipated.

Any persons who may have witnessed this event or who can provide any additional information should call Officer A.J. McTaggart at the North Sacramento Area CHP office at 916-348-2300 or by cell phone at 916-798-0975. Follow us on Twitter @CHPNSac, Facebook.com/chpnorthsac, Instagram @chpnorthsac, or Nextdoor.
