A man riding a scooter in Santa Rosa was hit and killed by an SUV while crossing an intersection Friday morning, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The Santa Rosa Police Department said in a press release that officers responded at about 8:11 a.m. to a report of a collision involving a pedestrian and a vehicle at the intersection of Santa Rosa Avenue and El Portal Way. When officers arrived, they found a person dead at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
Investigators determined that the 61-year-old victim was on a motorized scooter traveling northbound on Santa Rosa Avenue when a Chevrolet Tahoe, making a left turn from a parking lot onto southbound Santa Rosa Avenue, struck the scooter rider, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver of the Tahoe, a 30-year-old Santa Rosa resident, reported not seeing the scooter before the collision. Police said the driver immediately stopped, called 911, remained at the scene, and was cooperating with the investigation.<\/p>\n
The name of the victim, a Rohnert Park resident, was withheld until his family was notified.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the collision was asked to contact Officer Anthony Matteri of the Santa Rosa Police Department’s traffic unit at (707) 543-8561.\u00a0<\/p>\n
