Bart Forman Arrested in Horrific Crash on Sunrise Avenue [Roseville, CA]

Roseville, CA (May 29, 2025) — An 86-year-old woman suffered injuries Thursday afternoon after 62-year-old Bart Forman, suspected of drunk driving, struck her while she was crossing a street in Roseville.

The crash happened around 1:50 p.m. in the 700 block of Sunrise Avenue. According to the Roseville Police Department, a vehicle exiting a parking lot hit the woman as she crossed the roadway.

Emergency crews responded to the scene and transported the victim to a nearby hospital for treatment. Authorities said her injuries were not considered life-threatening, and she is expected to recover.

Investigators determined that the driver, Forman, was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision. Officers arrested Forman on suspicion of felony DUI and booked him into the South Placer County Jail.

The crash temporarily closed northbound Sunrise Avenue at Cirby Way while authorities investigated. The roadway later reopened to traffic.

The California Office of Traffic Safety’s “Go Safely” campaign reminds everyone that driving under the influence (DUI) doesn’t just refer to alcohol. A DUI can involve any substance—including marijuana, prescription medication, over-the-counter drugs, or illegal substances—that affects your ability to drive safely. Even when taken legally, some medications can slow your reflexes, impair judgment, or make you drowsy behind the wheel.

Every driver has a role to play in preventing tragedies. Despite public awareness efforts, reckless and impaired driving continues to claim lives. In California alone, someone loses their life in a traffic crash every few hours—a heartbreaking reminder of how critical road safety truly is.

Remember, sharing the road means sharing responsibility. Stay alert, respect other drivers, and watch out for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. A moment of care can save a life—perhaps even your own.

Driving under the influence puts everyone on the road at risk, including pedestrians. Motorists should never get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol and should remain alert in areas with heavy foot traffic to help prevent serious injuries and save lives.
