The driver, identified as Tanner Robinson, 29, was driving an Atlas tree-trimming truck. The California Highway Patrol, during its investigation, uncovered that the young man worked for the Santa Rosa-based company.
Robinson was heading east on the highway around 7:30 a.m. when he drove through the red light at the intersection. At that time, Gee’s Civic turned legally on Oakmont Drive. The truck collided against the older man, and he sustained injuries that led to his death.
The police who responded to the scene arrested Robinson after determining that he was under the influence of drugs. The young man is in Sonoma County Jail, and there’s no information on his bond.
The suspect’s employer, in a statement, noted that he has worked with the company for over two years. Before this accident, Robinson had no driving violations or collisions with Atlas’ vehicles.
The driver is charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and causing injury while driving under the influence. He would need a car injury lawyer to advise him of his rights, and liabilities, and to represent him in court.
