Police in Rohnert Park have arrested a woman on suspicion of driving under the influence after she was in a collision early Sunday morning which resulted in major injuries.
At about 2:37 a.m., the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety received several 911 calls about a collision near the intersection of Rohnert Park Expressway and Commerce Boulevard. Police and fire crews arrived by 2:40 a.m. and discovered a Toyota pickup truck that had collided with a Scion sedan. The man who had been driving the Scion received major injuries to his lower extremities, RPDPS said. He was extricated from his vehicle and taken to the hospital.
Investigators determined that the Scion was traveling westbound on Rohnert Park Expressway and the Toyota truck was headed northbound on Commerce Boulevard when they collided in the intersection. Police said the traffic signals were functioning properly, but it has not yet been determined who had the right of way. Police allege that Valencia was showing symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol and that she performed poorly on field sobriety tests.
