Dramatic Rollover Crash Reminder to Slow Down in Rain: San Ramon Police

SAN RAMON, CA — A dramatic rollover crash on Monarch Road near Honeycastle Drive late Saturday night is a good reminder to drivers to slow down on wet roads during the rainy season, police officials said.

“Amazingly, there were no injuries,” San Ramon police officials said.

Police say the cause of the crash is currently under investigation but investigators do believe the the wet roadway played a factor in the collision.

California Highway Patrol officials shared safe driving tips for wet weather:

• Slow down in the rain, fog, and snow. Wet or snowy roads have less traction.
• Increase your following distance, and brake early.
• Always turn your headlights on in inclement weather. Often lights are the only things visible to other motorists!
• Avoid driving through puddles; your vehicle can be stranded in deep standing water.
• Hydroplaning (the loss of contact between tires and the roadway due to standing water) can lead to crashes.
