The 911 caller advised dispatch that a vehicle and a bicyclist were involved in a collision near the intersection. The vehicle was described as a gold Ford pickup. The bicyclist was on the ground and needed immediate medical attention.
Santa Rosa Police Officers and Fire/Medical personnel arrived on scene. The bicyclist was assessed and immediately transported to a local trauma center for major injuries, that were deemed to be life-threatening.
The driver of the Ford pickup remained on scene and spoke with a Santa Rosa Police Motor Officer who was in charge of the investigation. The driver did not display any symptoms of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Based on the driver’s statements and the statements of a witness, the bicyclist had entered a crosswalk at the intersection when they were struck.

The Ford pickup had been traveling westbound on Sebastopol Rd when the collision occurred.
