Santa Rosa skateboarder and car collision under investigation

Posted

(KRON) -- The Santa Rosa Police Department is working to determine who was at fault in a Tuesday afternoon collision between a driver and a man riding a skateboard.

Initial investigations found a 36-year-old Toyota driver was traveling southbound on Marlow Road approaching Guerneville Road when a 27-year-old skateboarder entered the crosswalk westbound directly into the vehicle's path.

The Santa Rosa man was transported to a local hospital after multiple 911 calls were received -- remaining under medical care after sustaining "significant injuries."

Both northbound and southbound traffic signals on Marlow Road were green at the time of the incident, police said.

Alcohol nor drugs are believed to have been factors in the collision and the driver remained on scene, cooperating with the investigation.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or has video of the collision, is encouraged to contact SRPD Accident Investigator Brenden Sawyer at brendensawyer@srcity.org.
