Fatal Motorcycle Crash on Highway 101 in downtown Santa Rosa

CHP report that this morning at approximately 9:00 a.m. a motorcyclist collided with a van in the southbound lanes of Highway 101 just north of the Mendocino Avenue overpass. According to police, the motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

Initial reports are still coming in, so no determination has yet been made as to the cause of the accident, or whether there is comparative fault on behalf of the rider and the driver of the van.
