A Santa Rosa man is dead after a head-on crash in Ukiah. The 47-year-old man was driving west on State Route 253 just east of Stipp Lane Thursday morning when his car crossed into the opposite lane and hit a truck. It’s unknown how fast the car was going but the truck was driving around 50 MPH. While airbags in both vehicles deployed, the car driver wasn’t wearing a seatbelt at the time. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The truck driver was taken to Adventist Health Ukiah Valley with moderate injuries. The CHP is investigating.
