1 Dead, 3 Injured In Rollover Crash Along U.S. 101 In Sonoma Co.

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A young man from Lake County died and three teenage boys suffered injuries — one critically — Saturday night in a rollover crash on U.S. Highway 101 south of Santa Rosa, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP responded at 11 p.m. to the incident along U.S. 101 near Todd Road. The 23-year-old driver of a Ford Mustang had been traveling in the northbound fast lane when for reasons still under investigation, he lost control of the Mustang and it began to spin out, CHP officials said.

The car went across northbound freeway lanes to the right shoulder, where it rolled and struck a tree, according to the CHP.

"Witnesses reported seeing the Ford traveling at a high rate of speed and passing traffic while it was raining," CHP officials said.

Emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, where, despite their efforts the driver, later identified by the Sonoma County Sheriff-Coroner's Office as Clearlake resident Alexis Carrillo, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The crash left a 13-year-old boy hospitalized in critical condition; the other two passengers, an 11-year-old boy and a 12-year-old, suffered major and moderate injuries, respectively.

All three passengers were taken to Santa Rosa Hospital.

The CHP is asking anyone with information regarding the fatal crash to call the Santa Rosa CHP office at 707-588-1400.
