Man Dead, Rick Barretta Hospitalized in Rohnert Park Accident on Highway 101

ROHNERT PARK, CA (August 9, 2021) – Sunday morning, a man died and Rick Barretta sustained injuries in a crash on Highway 101 and Rohnert Park Expressway.

The rear-end accident happened at about 4:00 a.m. on Highway 101, north of Rohnert Park Expressway.

According to reports, a male driver traveled north on Highway 101. Then, he stopped his gray Nissan in the middle lane and exited the vehicle.

As the man stood near his car, a Ford F-250, driven by Mr. Barretta, rear-ended the Nissan. The impact pushed the Nissan forward, in effect hitting the male driver. Then, the man landed on the road where a Ford F-150 hit him. The latter Ford was driven by Jorge Mendoza-Suarez, 26.

At this time, the authorities haven’t disclosed the identity of the Nissan’s driver.

Meanwhile, 41-year-old Barretta and his three passengers sustained injuries. Thus, responders took them to the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.

Moreover, the F-150 driver, Mr. Mendoza-Suarez, sustained no injuries.

At this time, the authorities haven’t determined why the deceased Nissan driver stopped his vehicle on the northbound side of the highway.

Thus, the authorities urged anyone with information about the Ronhert Park crash to call the CHP at 707-588-1400.
