CHP Santa Rosa

Today, we took part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. We were Guardians of the Flame on our 8 mile run from from Rohnert Park to Petaluma. This event is a great fundraiser for a great cause and we were proud to participate! #running #runningmotivation #torchrun #specialolympics #chp

It was our pleasure to meet Jaden yesterday. He is a special kid with dreams of being an engineer when he grows up. Good luck Jaden, you got this! You have our support always!

FATAL CRASH ON SR-12 Today at 11:48 am, Santa Rosa CHP officers were dispatched to a two vehicle head-on collision on SR-12 near Merced Avenue. It was reported that a driver in the crash had possibly sustained fatal injuries. Upon arrival at the scene, it was confirmed the male driver of a Honda Civic had passed away as a result of the crash. Preliminary investigation indicates the Honda Civic was heading eastbound on SR-12, east of Merced Avenue. A Ford F-250 was heading ...westbound on SR-12, east of Merced Avenue. For reasons yet to be determined, the Honda veered to the left, over the double yellow lines and into the westbound lane. The Honda was directly in the path of the Ford when a head-on collision occurred. The two occupants of the Ford were transported to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. The name of the deceased is being withheld pending family notification. Anyone with information on this collision are asked to call the Santa Rosa CHP office at (707)588-1400.

Tomorrow is #Halloween and we want to remind you to be safe and sober. Expect that more people will be out in the neighborhood. Please drive slower than normal and if you consume any adult beverages, be sure to Designate a Sober Driver! #CaliDDP

Congratulations to the 77 new officers that graduated the CHP - Academy today - welcome to the CHP family!

It’s been a busy year and busy last couple months with all the wildfires. We appreciate all of our heroes on #NationalFirstRespondersDay

We are lucky to have these resources. Sonoma Sheriff Helicopter Henry-1 pulled the subject from the water. When time was of the essence, it only took 13 minutes for CHP Helicopter H-32 to transport the possibly hypothermic individual to Santa Rosa Memorial. Great job to all first responders including California State Parks and U.S. Coast Guard and Timber Cove Fire Department.

Meet Tug. He went for a run on SR-1 near Hagemann Ranch today. Officer Q was on patrol and drove upon the scene while cars were swerving around him. Officer Q offered Tug a lift and he didn’t need much convincing to jump in the patrol car. The owner was contacted and we’re happy to report Tug is home safe tonight.

Another Sideshow Vehicle Impounded Last night around 10:30pm this vehicle was participating in sideshow activity in Fairfield when CHP Solano attempted to make an enforcement stop. The Dodge fled and led officers on a multi-county pursuit. Officers pursued this Dodge on I-80, Hwy 37, Lakeville Hwy, and N/B US-101 into Santa Rosa. Our patrol vehicles couldn’t keep up with the orange Dodge that reached speeds of 150 MPH, but our CHP airplane had no problem following at that spe...ed. The Dodge exited the freeway and fled onto Fountaingrove Pkwy when the driver finally stopped. The driver was arrested on multiple charges and as you can see in the picture, the Dodge was impounded (for 30 days). Fortunately the Dodge didn’t crash while traveling at such extreme high speeds. So many bad things could’ve happened including causing injury to an innocent person. Don’t run, it’s not worth it. CHP - Golden Gate Division Air Operations See more

Solo Vehicle Fatal Crash off River Road On October 11, 2020, at approximately 4:24pm, Santa Rosa CHP officers were dispatched to a crash on River Road, west of Trenton-Healdsburg Road. A property owner was the reporting party to this crash after discovering a mailbox had been damaged. The property owner then discovered a crashed vehicle down the north side embankment of River Rd and a body lying on the ground near the vehicle. The unidentified subject was pronounced deceased ...at the scene. It was determined this collision occurred several hours prior. The crash was unreported until this time because the gray Hyundai stopped in an area with no visibility from River Rd or from the property. It was determined the Hyundai was driving eastbound on River Rd, west of Trenton-Healdsburg Rd. For unknown reasons at this time, the Hyundai drove off the north side of River Rd. The Hyundai collided with the mailbox and continued down an embankment where it collided with a tree. The male driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was subsequently ejected from the Hyundai. The Hyundai continued down the embankment where it collided with another tree before coming to a stop. This crash remains under investigation including whether the driver was under the influence. If anyone witnessed this collision or the events leading up to it, please call the Santa Rosa CHP office at (707)588-1400. See more
