32 people died in Sacramento car crashes in 2025. At a vigil, mourners remember Crashes killed at least 32 pedestrians in the city in 2025. More than 70 people gathered to remember lives lost.

Yesterday I attended a sad but moving event honoring the 32 Sacramento community members who lost their lives due to vehicular violence. Each of the cones represents one person who lost their life last year (1/x) @sacbee.com @arianelange.bsky.social

I follow a lot of journalists and news on here but rarely like/comment/post. I am grateful for local/regional news on bsky because there isn't that much of it here. Please stay!

Also, there are a *lot* of users that it's hard to tell if they are real or not. Check for accounts following 1000s.

This is AMAZING

Warning

I got to see a presentation about the waterfall climbing gobies by a staff photographer for Amazonas Magazine and it was AMAZING

A simple trick can save pedestrians’ lives. What’s Sacramento doing about it? Giving pedestrians a head start at intersections in New York City has prevented crashes.

Something we could try to stop pedestrian fatalities...
