Santa Rosa, CA — At least one person was injured early Friday morning following a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Olivet Road and Viking Road, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
The accident occurred at approximately 12:41 a.m., when traffic was light but visibility was limited. CHP officials reported that two sedans were involved in the crash. The specific circumstances leading up to the collision have not yet been released, and investigators have not indicated whether speed, impairment, or other factors may have contributed.
Emergency responders arrived quickly to assist those involved. At least one individual sustained injuries and was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. The extent of the injuries has not been disclosed, and authorities have not confirmed whether additional occupants were in either vehicle.
Traffic in the immediate area was temporarily impacted as officers secured the scene and began their investigation. The roadway has since been cleared, and an ongoing investigation aims to determine the cause of the crash.
The incident highlights continuing traffic safety concerns in Sonoma County, which records hundreds of injury-related crashes each year, according to CHP’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). Major routes such as U.S. Highway 101 are among the most frequently impacted corridors, but local intersections and surface streets also pose significant risks—especially during late-night and early-morning hours.
