Serious Injury Collision at Santa Rosa Intersection

An adult man riding a skateboard was hospitalized with serious injuries after a collision with a Toyota Highlander at Marlow and Guerneville roads in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County. The crash occurred Tuesday afternoon, November 10, 2026. The Press Democrat reported the time as about 2:30 p.m.; Bay City News reported 2:33 p.m.

Both independent reports described the man’s injuries as significant or serious. No long-term prognosis is established here, and no person is named.

Police Describe Preliminary Collision Circumstances

According to Santa Rosa police information reported by The Press Democrat and Bay City News, a 36-year-old woman was driving the Toyota south on Marlow Road while the skateboarder was traveling west through a crosswalk. Police said Marlow Road traffic had a green light and that the skateboarder entered the SUV’s path.

That account is attributed to police. It is not a determination of civil liability, and this article does not make any finding of fault. The full circumstances remained under investigation in the verified reporting.

Police said the Toyota driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Investigators did not believe impairment was a factor, according to both reports. The available information does not establish a citation or charge decision.
