Santa Rosa, CA – Man Dies after Violent Single-Vehicle Accident on Industrial Drive

Santa Rosa, CA (August 19, 2018) – A local news source reported that a man sustained traumatic injuries and died as the result of a violent single-vehicle accident in the 3600 block of Industrial Drive. The incident occurred at some time in the afternoon on Saturday, August 18, 2018. At this time, no detailed information about the fatality or the motorist and her deceased passenger has been revealed.

Based on the initial report, a 71-year old woman, of Santa Rosa, unintentionally accelerated her van as she attempted to back into a parking space on Industrial Drive. As a result, the van plowed into a nearby concrete curb and a tree.

Officials revealed the woman’s passenger, a 77-year old man, flew from the vehicle and slammed into the ground as a result of the impact. As the reports indicate, an off-duty paramedic utilized CPR in an attempt to revive the victim. Once an ambulance arrived at the scene, medical personnel transported the victim to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries and died.

Officials did not specify if the 71-year old woman was injured during the accident.

As of now, the investigation is ongoing. As more evidence continues to surface, more information will be released to public sources.

We extend our most heartfelt prayers and our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased passenger and wish them strength and peace of mind during this difficult, tragic time.

Given the circumstances, many issues surrounding the crash remain unresolved. As the investigation continues, forensic teams will inspect the van and examine photos of the crash site to determine if the driver had experienced mechanical issues or system failure. Likewise, officials will consider if drugs, alcohol, negligence, recklessness, or distracted driving played any role in the events leading up to the crash.

Once the case is resolved, the members of the deceased victim’s family may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit and, ultimately, receive much-needed compensation for the tragic loss of a loved one, funeral expenses, and additional unfortunate circumstances.
