A woman was killed in a head-on crash involving a Lexus and a Honda on Corby Avenue in Santa Rosa on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
According to the Santa Rosa Police Department, the crash occurred when the driver of a white Lexus SUV, traveling northbound in the 2800 block of Corby Avenue, allegedly failed to notice a red Toyota that had stopped to make a left turn into a driveway.
The Toyota driver, waiting for southbound traffic to clear, had their blinker on. The Lexus driver attempted to avoid rear-ending the Toyota by swerving into the southbound lane, side-swiping the Toyota before colliding head-on with a red Honda.
The driver of the Honda was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after emergency responders arrived. The Lexus and Toyota drivers were not injured.
The driver of the Lexus was cooperative with investigators. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and it is unclear whether drugs or alcohol were factors.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
