Fatal Traffic Collision Corporate Center Parkway

On Saturday, April 6, 2024, at 9:06 p.m., Santa Rosa Police Department (SRPD) officers responded to a report of a traffic collision with injuries in the area of Corporate Center Parkway and Sebastopol Road. The reporting party said a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle. 
 
Officers arrived on-scene along with personnel with the Santa Rosa Fire Department. The pedestrian was transported by ambulance to a local hospital in critical condition. SRPD Accident Investigators responded to the scene and took over the investigation. On April 14, 2024, SRPD Accident Investigators were informed that the pedestrian, a 65-year-old male from Forestville, CA, had passed away in the hospital, as a result of his injuries from the collision.

The initial investigation has shown that a Mazda SUV was being driven southbound on Corporate Center Parkway when it struck the pedestrian. The pedestrian was not in a marked crosswalk or a controlled intersection, at the time of the collision. The driver, a 34-year-old female from Forestville, CA, remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. It does not appear that alcohol or drugs played a factor into this accident. 
 
The deceased pedestrian name will be withheld at this time, pending contact with the next of kin.
