Authorities​ Search For Vehicle In Fatal Marin Hit-And-Run

MARIN COUNTY, CA – California Highway Patrol officers are searching for a Chevrolet Silverado or Chevrolet Tahoe that was possibly involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash Monday night on Highway 101 in Marin County.

Marie Noelle Sigenthaler, 29, of San Francisco, was riding a 2012 Yamaha motorcycle south in the No. 2 lane on the highway north of Tiburon Boulevard around 10 p.m. when she was struck from behind by a vehicle. She was ejected and landed in the No. 1 lane, where she was hit 30 to 60 seconds later by a Volkswagen Tiguan that remained at the scene, CHP Officer Andrew Barclay said. Sigenthaler died at the scene.

A witness said a silver Toyota Prius hit the motorcycle first and fled the scene, but the Prius owner contacted the CHP and investigators determined it was not involved in the collision, Barclay said.

Evidence at the scene indicates the hit-and-run vehicle is either a 1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck or a 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, according to the CHP. The collision would have caused moderate to major damage to the right front of the Chevrolet, including a missing running light, turn signal and fender, Barclay said. Authorities do not yet know the color of the suspect vehicle.

Anyone who witnessed the crash was asked to call the Marin CHP office at 415-924-1100.
