Harley Rider Suffers Major Injuries in Sonoma County Crash

A Sonoma man suffered major injuries when his motorcycle and a Lexus collided in unincorporated Sonoma County south of Sonoma city limits this morning, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

Daniel Alvarez Hernandez, 37, was riding a 2010 Harley Davidson on Broadway at Specht Road around 6 a.m., CHP Officer Anna Paulson said. Diane Sangiacomo, 76, of Sonoma, did not see Hernandez’s motorcycle when she pulled her 2008 Lexus out of a private driveway and turned left onto the west side of Broadway, Paulson said.

The motorcycle struck the driver’s side of the Lexus, causing major injuries to Hernandez, Paulson said.

He was taken to Queen of the Valley Medical Center.

Sangiacomo suffered minor injuries and was not taken to a hospital, Paulson said.
