A skateboarder was seriously injured in a car crash at Marlow Road and Guerneville Road in Santa Rosa on Tuesday, according to Santa Rosa Police.
What Happened at Marlow Road and Guerneville Road
Police received multiple 911 calls about the crash at around 2:30 p.m. Police said a 36-year-old driver in a Toyota was heading south on Marlow Road toward Guerneville Road. The skateboarder, a 27-year-old Santa Rosa man, was headed west on Guerneville Road. He was taken to a local hospital with significant injuries, and police said he remained under medical care. Police said the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
Where the Santa Rosa Police Investigation Stands
Santa Rosa Police said the full circumstances of the collision remain under investigation. Southbound lanes on Marlow Road were closed for nearly two hours before reopening. Police also said alcohol and drugs are not believed to have been factors. Police asked anyone who saw the crash, or who has video of it, to come forward to the department's accident investigator.
When police say a crash is still under investigation, it usually means they are still collecting evidence and have not reached any conclusions.
