Santa Rosa man, his 3 children seriously injured in crash
Santa Rosa Police on Tuesday said they are investigating after a crash that seriously injured a man and his three children on Monday. The crash happened around 2:30 p.m. near West 3rd Street and Arboleda Drive, and it involved a red 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan and a white 2019 Ford Ranger that is owned by the city of Santa Rosa. According to police, the minivan driver was initially going eastbound on West 3rd Street in the left lane when he moved to the right lane to pass two vehicles. Around the same time, a Ford Ranger in the right lane began to merge to the left because the roadway narrows into one lane. As it merged, police said the minivan driver tried to pass the Ford Ranger and hit the rear left side of the truck with the front right side of the minivan. The minivan then struck two trees that were in the median. Police said the minivan driver was a 44-year-old Santa Rosa man and that his three boys were occupants in the vehicle. The man, his 12-year-old, 11-year-old and 5-year-old were all seriously injured. Police said they believe the 5-year-old was in the front passenger seat in a booster seat; the 11-year-old was in the second row behind the driver; and the 12-year-old was in the third row behind his brother. Police said the man remains at a local hospital in critical condition, and the boys are at a Bay Area hospital with serious injuries. Investigators said the city employee was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash, and that he did not require medical treatment. Police said, "due to the medical condition of the minivan driver, additional investigation is required to determine if he was impaired." The crash remains under investigation.

Santa Rosa Police investigating late-night crash that injured teen
Santa Rosa Police said they are investigating a crash that injured a teen on Saturday night. The crash happened around 10:20 p.m. at the intersection of College Avenue and Beaver Street. Police said they received several 911 calls about the crash, and one of the calls was from the driver who told them the teen was still lying in the roadway. First responders found the unconscious teen on the westbound lanes of College Avenue. He was taken to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries and was later taken to a different Bay Area trauma center. The driver, whose identity police said they will not yet be releasing, stayed at the scene and cooperated. Police said she told officers that she was driving westbound on College Avenue and that she hit the teen when she got near the Beaver Street Intersection. She told officers that he had entered the roadway from the north side of College Avenue, police said. Neither alcohol nor drugs appeared to be a factor in the crash, according to police. Investigators are looking for surveillance video in the area and are trying to find out if the 14-year-old was in the crosswalk at the time of the crash. Police said the teen may have been with someone else at the time of the crash and was possibly riding a skateboard.
